These days, it’s easier than ever to get caught up in what could go wrong, and imagine wretched worst-case scenarios. But I want to challenge us to take Paul’s instruction in Philippians 4 to heart! Let’s choose to feed our souls on something better than the worst possible outcome. I encourage you to find whatever is pure, worthy, excellent, and anything of good-repute – and meditate on that today!
Worry
Corrie Ten Boom
Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.
Ray Johnston
Avoid these five toxic hope killers that can threaten your future:
1. Bitterness and resentment
2. Worry and anxiety
3. Looking back and comparing
4. Guilt
5. Past failures.
Seth Dahl
If we don’t get out of worry, we risk getting into idolatry. Idols are anything we need to check with before we say yes to God, and quite often, money is something people are checking with, and worrying about it only reveals we are trusting it instead of Him.
Bill Johnson
If you have more influence from media than you do from the Word of God, then your discouragement is self-inflicted.
Thomas Watson
It is our work to cast care, and it is God’s work to take care.
Corrie Ten Boom
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.

Worry is the cross which we make for ourselves by over anxiety.
Phillip Daniel Watkins (Age 7)
If you love God, you never have to worry again.
Jewel McChesney
Worrying is like praying hard for an outcome you really don’t want. Consider that when praying. Thank God, instead, for what His Word says he’ll do! Disregard the negative completely. Watch the results change!
