tied in knots

When we worry we tie ourselves in knots and

our entire body becomes tense.
By creating these knots

we block the flow of our energy

and exhaust ourselves

by exerting more effort

and accomplishing little to nothing.

We worry ourselves sick.

Although difficult, we must let go of a situation

over which we have no control

and one which may be blown all out of proportion.

“It only seems as if you are doing something when you're worrying.”

- Lucy Maud Montgomery

“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow,

it only saps today of its joy.”

- Leo Buscaglia

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD,

'He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.’”

- Psalm 91: 1,2 NIV
