Worry Wart

It's funny how worked up and worried I can make myself. I've had a pretty routine Doctor's appointment on my Calendar for a while now and the closer it got the more fearful I became. I've never had a doctor remove anything before and I had a goofy growth on my leg that had to be taken off (tmi? sorry.) It wasn't a wart btw. While he was doing it he accidentally cut his own finger with my scalpel. Is that normal? Does that happen a lot? It doesn't bother me but he had never met me before and I feel bad for him because that would make me worry. Lucky for him there's nothing to worry about. Anyway, when I feel stressed about something It's difficult for me to want to write about happy things and I need to be better about that because there will always be something to worry about, right? I Do really let myself get anxious easily so I'm going to list off some good things to remind myself the next time I need to calm down.

• Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows but only empties today of its strengths.                -Chris Haddon Spurgeon
• Worry not about the possible troubles of the future; for if they come, you are but anticipating and adding to their weight; and if they do not come, your worry is useless; and in either case it is weak and in vain, and a distrust of God's providence. - Hugh Blair
• People get so in the habit of worry that if you save them from drowning and put them on a bank to dry in the sun with hot chocolate and muffins they wonder whether they are catching cold. - John Jay Chapman
• Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything. - Mary Hemingway
• Nothing in the affairs of men is worthy of great anxiety. - Plato
• "Cast your cares on the LORD
  and he will sustain you;
  he will never let the righteous fall."
  Psalm 55:22 NIV
• "God is our refuge and strength,
  an ever-present help in trouble."
  Psalm 46:1 King James Version
• Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."
  John 14:1 KJV
• "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
  Matthew 6:34 New American Standard Bible
• "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
  Matthew 11:28-30 NIV
• "Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
  do not depend on your own understanding.
  Seek his will in all you do,
  and he will show you which path to take."
  Proverbs 3:5-6 New Living Translation
• "An anxious heart weighs a man down,
  but a kind word cheers him up."
  Proverbs 12:25 NIV

I need to remember these words the next time I'm near tears for no certain reason. I need to constantly remind myself to have faith and to trust and It will be okay... even if it isn't.

Have a good day and be happy, don't worry!
