Episode 48 - Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing

Worry seems to be part of the human condition. We worry about relationships, work, money, the future, health and more. And yet most of what we worry about never happens! When we need to make something happen, persevere, overcome, heal or create, worry blocks us. In this episode we talk about how we release worry (and striving) and what we can be assured of, no matter what.

NOTES:

Worry is a state of anxiety and uncertainty over actual or potential problems

Some of the things we worry about: Relationships, Work, Finances, Uncertain future, Lack of confidence Health, Aging, , State of our nation, State of our world War, Poverty, Violence, Environment

We spend 6.5 years of our lives spent worrying

85% of what we worry about never happens

Jesus had these things to say about it:

“Do not worry!”

“Come to me all who are burdened. I will give you rest.”

“If you had faith the size of a mustard seed…you could say to this mountain…”

Faith is:

Knowing - despite feelings or appearances -  that everything is working out for Good

The assurance of an outcome without having to know how it's going to happen

Letting go and letting God – ceasing to strive

With Faith you can

Persevere through the seeminglyimpossible

Overcome fears and challenges

Heal our bodies, mindsand relationships

Boldly create the life of our dreams

Dialogue Questions

What do you worry about? How does worry show up in your life? How would your life be if you freed yourself of worry?

What are you assured of really?

Affirmation

When there is uncertainty before me, I release worry. I have faith that the Light of Spirit is at work. There is nothing to fear for I know that all is working together for Good. When there is something that I want to accomplish – dreams, overcoming, healing – I pray for guidance and direction. I listen. I begin by taking one step forward, then another. The power of Faith assures me and fills me with confidence and a lightness of Being.
