Worry

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.

Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)


"Cast all your anxieties upon Jesus, because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7


I love this quote by Spurgeon, and this scripture in James, which is most likely what inspired Spurgeon in the first place. I find it interesting that, for those who worry, worry turns into weary; it is exhausting. However, given time, trust in Jesus is physically and mentally empowering. I also find it interesting that for us, to worry or to trust is totally within our control. It is a decision we make.

Worry

One is given strength to bear what happens to one, but not the 100 and 1 different things that might happen.

C. S. Lewis
