Make your long term and short term goals.
Work backward from the end point and you will have your daily work plan.
You’ll have weekly goals, quarterly goals and yearly goals but, having goals and working toward them everyday removes the worry.
Over simplified but, for those who get it, they get it.
Thank you! My RCIA meets Thursday’s, so last week we did not have class. I miss it! The time there is quite comforting.
And yet the rules of the Catholic Church are set up so that a Catholic never knows if he has enough “points” (I.e. Good behavior exceeds the bad) to get into heaven. That’s the worst kind of worry.
Thank you.
True enough.
Sean Hannity always says: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” (John 14:1) NOW I know that it's from John. WONDERFUL stuff. But, then it would be since it is from the Bible.
Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things. The things which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these do ye, and the God of peace shall be with you. (Phillipians 4:6-9)

. This is not always true. Many times I have woken up and the very first thought was an anxious one -- followed by hours of uncontrollable rumination. No one in he psychiatric professions seriously believes you can successfully will this kind of emotive waterfall to stop. It requires pharmaceutical or another type of professional intervention.
Great article. Thanks!
Thanks for posting this, Salvation! I have been dealing with anxiety for the last few months. Especially the “what ifs” in life and always worrying about the future instead of taking it day to day. Opening the Bible and reading scripture (and praying) have helped tremendously!
So true. Thanks for the ping.
