No matter what happens in life, try to keep things in perspective. When you don\u2019t, you end up viewing minor problems as major ones. Or you do the opposite, treating significant situations as \u2018no big deal\u2019. Either tendency\u2014\u2018awfulising\u2019 or \u2018minimising\u2019\u2014leads to problems. So do your best to see things as they really are and don\u2019t let them get blown out of proportion. Develop the habit of looking at the big picture, instead of dwelling on the one issue that\u2019s upsetting you.<\/p>\n
Thinking excessively about your problems makes them appear larger than they really are. When you run up against a situation that upsets you, deal with the panic<\/i> before you try to deal with the problem. Sit down quietly, calm yourself, and take time to purposely recall the good things you enjoy also. The truth is, worry never goes away. When you resolve one issue, another one is waiting to take its place. It\u2019s a fact of life; you can\u2019t change it. So what should you do? Change your perspective! Instead of focusing on your worries, factor God into the equation. Has He ever failed you? No, and He never will! The grace of God that sustained and brought you through the last worrisome situation will be with you in this one\u2014and the next one! <\/p>\n
Notice what Jesus said about the things we worry over most: \u2018Do not worry, saying, \u201cWhat shall we eat?\u201d or \u201cWhat shall we drink?\u201d or \u201cWhat shall we wear?\u201d\u2026 For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.\u2019<\/i> (Matthew 6:31\u201333 NKJV) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
