Worry, the Devils' Assistant...
Here are some gems from Father Dwyer about worry: Gems regarding worry from other sources: Luke 12:22: Then Jesus said to his disciples,
Do you worry a lot? Do you know how harmful worrying is to your
mental state and to your physical health?
Has worrying about something ever
fixed it or made it better?
1. Worry is
useless.
2. Worry is like an emery board grinding away at us.
3. Worry is
overkill thinking.
4. Worry is inside harmful, like a festering sore eating
away at us.
5. Worry is the walking stick of the devil.
6. Can you
show me one house that worry ever built, or one bill that worry ever paid, or
one sickness that worry ever cured?
7. It is better to say a prayer for me
rather than to worry about me.
1. Do not worry.
Worry is lack of trust in GODs' love for us.
2. Worry is like a rocking
chair. No matter how hard you rock, you get nowhere.
3. Worry is the
darkroom in which "negatives" can develop.
4. Worry is interest paid on
trouble before it is due.
5. Worry is known to cause ulcers. Do you wish to
add ulcers to your worries?
6. Sorrow looks back. Worry looks around. Faith
looks up.
7. If you worry, pray. If you pray, don't worry.
8. Worry is
wasting todays time to clutter up tomorrows opportunities with yesterdays
troubles.
"That's why I'm telling you to stop worrying about your life-what
you will eat-or about your body-what you will wear."
