These days there are surveys and polls for everything. One that caught my eye recently was a survey to find out how much time out of each day people spend worrying. Somehow, they came up with the figure of two hours and 18 minutes.
I’m having trouble understanding how one can arrive at this figure. When I’m worried about something, I pretty much think about it constantly. I suppose this proves it is possible to make yourself stop worrying. Which is a good thing. Worry is a wasted emotion. It does nothing to solve the issue.
I know people who are constant worriers. Maybe it helps them prepare psychologically for their challenges. Just keep in mind, that’s two hours and 18 minutes you’ll never get back. Better to spend it confident in the knowledge God loves you and is working for your good.
