Words to a Friend Fighting Worry

Dearest friend,

"This is how to meet the hard and discouraging things in life. It is useless to fret over them. Fretting will never remove them, and it only weakens our energy and mars our life. But if we meet them with undismayed courage and persistent resolve, we shall conquer them, and in conquering them carve royalty of character and noble worth of ourselves." 

This quote is taken from a chapter titled, Reasons Not to Worry, by J.R. Miller. There are 6 pages to this chapter, so make sure you press next at the bottom of the page. Miller is my favorite author. My heart is always encouraged, convicted, and motivated when I read the grace-filled words he penned many years ago.

Now this is the blog of Ann Voskamp (the lady who wrote One Thousand Gifts). I have a feeling that you will find many comforting words there!!! I challenge you to write down 10-20 things you are grateful for TODAY. Maybe have your children make a list of their own. May their praises increase your praises all the more! Praying much for you friend!! 

With love,  

Shayna
