Right Action Follows Right Thinking

What Do You Gain by Worrying?

And who of you by worrying & being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life? - Matthew 6:27

The point is quickly made that worry is useless. It does not accomplish any good thing. If that is so, then why worry, why be so anxious?

Therefore, Don't Worry or Be Anxious

Therefore do not worry & be anxious, saying, What are we going to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? - Matthew 6:31


The above passages are taken from the book, "Battlefield of the Mind, Winning the Battle in Your Mind" by Joyce Meyer.

I find the passages above very true. I admit guilty of asking myself & saying "What should i eat?" I did that way too often, haha... :) When we start to think about what we think about, we will come to realize that we may have been worrying about little things that should'nt have to.

This book speaks way beyond 'Worry'. I find every chapter very interesting & heart-lifting. I believe anyone would be able to relate to what it speaks about because no one is spared by the many thoughts that seem to seize our minds. It seems easier to find fault in something & everything, negative thoughts just seem to pop up in our minds. I used to spend a lot of my time worrying, wondering, pondering, & at times, letting my imagination go wild! These are a few of many wrong thinking patterns & i know these gotta go! This book showed me how to do just that! :) I'm not saying that i have totally stopped thinking wrong thougths, the journey is not a walk in the park, but something has moved in me. I simply wish to share it with you, my family & friends :)

It all comes to this - if we desire a change, it all begins with the mind.

p/s : In life's struggles, know that God is on our side! God bless! :)
