To Conquer Worrying

By Bishop Vincent

CONSIDER what must be involved in the truth that God is infinite, and that you are a part of his plan.
Memorize some of the Scripture promises, and recall them when the temptation to worry returns.
Cultivate a spirit of gratitude for daily mercies.
Realize that worrying is an enemy which destroys your happiness.
Realize that it can be cured by persistent effort.
Attack it definitely, as something to be overcome.
Realize that it has never done, and never can do, the least good. It wastes vitality and impairs the mental faculties.
Help and comfort your neighbor.
Forgive your enemies, and conquer your aversions.
The world is what we make it. Forward, then! Forward in the power of faith, forward in the power of truth, forward in the power of friendship, forward in the power of freedom, forward in the power of hope, forward in the power of God!—Bishop Vincent.
