Those Anxious Thoughts

Ever since birth anxious lived in me anxious was the cause of my stammer or did my stammer make me anxious certainly, nothing made me calmer The thought of school life, oh dear! every day there certainly I did hate tension-filled my air that I felt I asked myself is this my fate? Then into the world of work speaking to many of every kind every time my tongue so anxious anxious for my life I signed Now retired really first class don't need to speak only if asked control all anxious thoughts now covid says wear your mask! (This is my thoughts on my life of anxiety) (Quote: "Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions - not outside" - Marcus Aurelius)

Without at least a little stress in our lives, we would not be prepared for life itself. (Does that make any sense?) Another fine write, Gordon.

The Bible tells us to be anxious over nothing for God will supply all our needs according to His riches in Glory. Wish I could find my Gideon Bible so I could find the book and verse for you. I was picked on badly all through school and all it did was make me tough. My motto: What Don't Kill You Only Serves To Make You Strong. A fine write my friend. God Bless, JB

Thanks Judy, Yes I know the verse you mention and the anxiousness now is nothing to what it was before especially during the school years but it still rears its ugly head. Glad you liked it and trust all is good with you, Take care and God bless, Gordon
