Your soul is downcast and your countenance is gloomy as if you are in despair with overwhelming load to carry. You trudge wearily along life’s rugged pathway bemoaning your plight and sighing unceasingly.
Making mountains out of mole hills is your specialty and overthinking about the distant future which you cannot even see. You shudder as you imagine impending problems constantly that you fail to appreciate your present blessings and life’s beauty.
Setbacks in life often trigger your negative thoughts automatically while being gripped with fear and choked by anxiety. So instead of finding ways to manage and cope positively you fret and whine and give in to despondency.
Thus, your health wanes and illness creeps in gradually when you are consumed with fear and debilitating worry for as you toss and turn and cannot sleep soundly, you jeopardize your well being, zest and vitality.
Worry clouds your vision that you cannot clearly see that behind closed doors are windows of fresh opportunity. So instead of exploring your options through ingenuity, you just mope around and wallow in self-pity.
With a warped mindset you cannot assess circumstances objectively for you tend to exaggerate your trials and troubles habitually. You just overlook the fact that you are blessed immensely and there are myriad reasons to celebrate life joyfully.
Nobody goes through life unscathed or trouble- free for all have struggles in varying forms and intensity. However a positive perspective is necessary for you to overcome hurdles triumphantly.
You can wiggle free from the fetters of fear and anxiety when you learn to walk with God and trust Him implicitly and as you cast upon him all your cares and perplexity he will give you a profound sense of peace and serenity.
