HOW YOU CAN OVERCOME
WORRY and FEAR
Friend, Sir William Osler, one of the fathers of modern medicine, once stated that “calmness of mind,” or “inner peace,” is the essential quality of the true physician.
Well, Sir William Osler actually did live a life free of tormenting worry, by simply living one day at a time. – Perhaps you may recall that it was Jesus who taught, “Don’t be anxious about tomorrow….Live one day at a time” (Matthew 6:34 TLB).
Unfortunately, anxiety is the number one psychological killer in the world. However, God reminds us in His word that we should “Be anxious for nothing.” That’s obviously easier said than done, but the habit of worry can be overcome! And there are various ways of accomplishing this.
For instance, on the wall of his broadcasting studio, Lowell Thomas had framed the words: “This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
John Ruskin, the famous writer, had a stone on his desk with one word inscribed on it. This word stood out in bold print and simply said, “Today!”
Most people who do not know how to overcome worry die young. However, you can add years to your life by overcoming the worry habit.
Perhaps the simple success formula of Rick Goings, who was at one time the president of Dynamics, Incorporated, might be of some help to you in overcoming worry.
Rick’s formula spells ADD, which simply stands for Attitude
Direction
Discipline
Friend, if you’re a worrier, my encouragement to you, is to take the time today to ADD joy and success to your life by applying this formula. I believe you will be amazed at the difference you will experience.
Most of us understand that skyscrapers are built one brick (panel) at a time. In fact, it is impossible to lay all the bricks (panels) of a skyscraper in a day. The builder simply follows the blueprint each hour of each day and the dream eventually becomes a reality when it is finished!
Some years ago a prominent doctor made a study of nearly 200 leading executives, whose average age was 44 years. Upon completion of the study he said, “A third of these people suffer from one of the three ailments peculiar to high tension: ailments such as heart disease, ulcers, and high blood pressure.”
What this famous doctor discovered, was that worry does kill! You see, worry can certainly cause immune deficiency, heart attack, mental breakdown, and death.
Friend, perhaps you’re reading this article today and burdened by worries that could cause some of the illnesses I’ve just referred to. If so, I’d like to share with you five helpful suggestions from Dale Carnegie, which you can use when facing a seemingly insurmountable problem that worries you.
Ask yourself the following five questions:
(1) What is the problem?
(2) What is the cause of the problem?
(3) What are the possible solutions to this problem?
(4) Which solution do I accept?
(5) When shall I put this solution into action?
I genuinely believe that if you will make the effort to follow these five suggestions, you will have found the secret to overcoming worry.
However, if you have already made a commitment of your life to God through His Son Jesus Christ, then you have all the help you’ll ever need to overcome worry.
On the other hand, if your life is being wrecked by fear and you don’t feel loved by God, and are still struggling to work through your troubles and worries, we’d like to help you by making available four FREE booklets which you may find encouraging.
Friend, WORRY and FEAR are two of the greatest enemies of the happy, successful life. Is there any way to avoid such feelings? Yes, there is and these booklets we are offering will help you to understand How to Overcome Worry and Fear.
They are titled: “THE RELENTLESS LOVE of GOD!,” “HOW to HANDLE TROUBLE,” “HOW to OVERCOME FEAR” and “WHERE TROUBLE CAN’T HURT YOU!”

FRIEND,
“The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for Those who cry, Those who hurt, Those who have searched, And those who have tried, For only they can appreciate the importance of people Who have touched their lives.”
Have a wonderful day!

“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.”
