The Power Of Worrying.

Topics: Death, Worry

Here's a good inspirational message. Keep it in your hearts.

Death was walking toward a city one morning and a man asked,

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to take 100 people." Death replied. "That's

horrible!" the man said.

"That's the way it is." Death said. "That's what I do."

The man hurried to warn everyone he could about Death's plan.

As evening fell, he met Death again. "You told me you were

going to take 100 people," the man said. "Why did 1,000

die?"

"I kept my word," Death responded. "I only took 100 people.

Worry took the others."

This interesting tale portrays so well what the National

Mental Health Committee reported a few years ago -- Half of

all the people in America's hospital beds are constant

worriers. Mental distress can lead to migraine headaches,

arthritis, heart trouble, cystitis, colitis, backaches,

ulcers, depression, digestive disorders and yes, even death.

Add to that list the mental fatigue of nights without sleep

and days without peace, then we get a glimpse of the havoc

worry plays in destroying the

quality and quantity of life.

Worry is, and always will be, a fatal disease of the heart,

for its beginning signals the end of faith. Worry intrudes

on God's compassionate ability to provide. When we allow our

problems to overshadow God's promises, we unknowingly, doom

ourselves to a defeat that was never part of God's eternal

plans. Release the regrets of yesterday, refuse the fears of

tomorrow and receive instead, the peace of today. Yes, my

friend simply let go and let God.

Live this, and be eternally blessed.

Read the following poem:

As children bring there broken toys

With tears for us to mend,

I brought my broken dreams to God

Because He was my friend

But then, instead of leaving Him

In peace to work alone,

I hung around and tried to help

With ways that were my own

At last I snatched them back and cried, "How can you be so

slow?"

"My child," He said, "What could I do? You never did let go."

No matter what your problem (situation) is, turn it over to

God. All of your battles He is able to fight. Have a blessed

day. Remember, nothing is going to happen today that God

can't handle.
