Me:  What wrong you looked worried?

Prodigal:  I am waiting to hear from the director.

Me:  I know that can be stressful to wait for a phone call, but you don’t have to spend your whole time worrying.

 

Dr. James P. Gills writes the following

 

Chronic worry creates destructive anxiety and stress in our lives.  It destroys our relationships with God and other people.  When we embrace the negative mind-set of worry, we accuse others, judge others, discourage others and try to control others.  We’re negative people who don’t feel God’s love and can’t love others.  But when we have a thankful spirit, God’s peace and love fill our lives.

 

I know you want to worry, but this is not a season of worry.  This is a time to rest and allow God to work around you.  Let your life be filled with the peace of God.

 

Titus 3:4

But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared.
