5 to Chew On- Anxiety
by Scott Hamilton on Wednesday, 6th February 2013
Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength. C.H. Spurgeon
The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety. George Muller
It is only when we want to take our lives out of the Father’s hands and have them under our own control that we find ourselves gripped with anxiety. The secret of freedom from anxiety is freedom from ourselves and abandonment of our own plans. But that spirit emerges in our lives only when our minds are filled with the knowledge that our Father can be trusted implicitly to supply everything we need. Sinclair Ferguson
Worry is faith in the negative; trust in the unpleasant, assurance of disaster and belief in defeat. Worry is wasting today’s time to clutter up tomorrow’s opportunities with yesterday’s troubles. Author Unknown
Worry, like a rocking chair, will give you something to do, but it won’t get you anywhere. Vance Havner
