Worry, the Devils' Assistant...



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?

Here are some gems from Father Dwyer about worry:

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.


Gems regarding worry from other sources:

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.



Luke 12:22: Then Jesus said to his disciples,
"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."
