TOPIC and SUBTOPIC: Anxiety, Always Hurtful.

TITLE: Anxiety Is Hurtful

And what does your anxiety do? It does not empty tomorrow, brother, of its sorrow; but, ah! it empties today of its strength.

It does not make you escape the evil, it makes you unfit to cope with it when it comes. It does not bless tomorrow, and it robs today. For every day has its own burden.

God gives us power to bear all the sorrows of His making; but he does not give us the power to bear the sorrows of our own making, which the anticipation of sorrow most assuredly is.

Ian Maclaren From Present Day Parables by J. Wilbur Chapman.
