Greg recently informed me that there have been 10,010 days since I was born. What was I doing on that 10,000th day? Most likely being anxious. Interesting. I don’t know how many days I have left on this earth, but is being anxious – extremely anxious – a good way of utilizing them?
My personality tends toward the more pessimistic side of things, so I sometimes have to work hard at not getting overwhelmed by everything. Anxiety is normal, but the anxiety I was feeling (and have been off and on) is really futile and doesn’t accomplish much.
“Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil” – Matthew 6:34. Something I would do well to bear in mind.
Day by day, I am finding relief from the anxiety. August 13 will show more certainty, and no amount of worrying or fretting is going to make that day come any faster. SO. I am doing my best to maintain a positive attitude. Maybe the next 10,000 days won’t be nearly as anxiety-provoking.
Thank you, Anne!
I think I have the same personality
Will keep you in prayer!
Hi Belle – I was just thinking about you the other day, wondering how you were doing!
Thank you for your prayers, I greatly appreciate them.
Kim, thanks for the reminder. I too get anxious often and worry a lot despite our shared faith.
I enjoy your blog very much and will pray that your anxiety abates and is replaced with serenity and joy.
Have a good night!
