If you're like me, you've probably found out that most of the things you worry about never really happen. Yet we tend to jump to the worst-case scenario!
We worry about the bad news at work: "I might lose my job!"
Or we worry about a cloud heading this way may be hail, lightning, or a thunderstorm ... who knows?
Or we worry when the phone starts ringing: "Oh, my goodness, I wonder what terrible thing has happened!"
All kinds of negative thoughts rush through our minds.
All kinds of negative thoughts rush through our minds, almost before we know it's happening.
We have to keep reminding ourselves that when we walk with the Lord, we can meet even the worst things that can happen ... surrounded by his love. The Wise One of Scripture reminds us, "An anxious heart weighs down a man" (Proverbs 12:25 NIV). In Jesus Christ, anxiety is supported by his love. God bless your heart with his loving presence today!
About the Author
Dr. Faulkner was the very first person of note and influence who shared his content with us at
HEARTLIGHT.org beginning in 1996.
Paul Faulkner taught on the Abilene Christian University campus full-time for 35 years. He was honored in 1982 as the university’s Teacher of the Year. He has written several books and was a much sought-after speaker and seminar leader along with his Marriage Enrichment partner, Dr. Carl Brecheen. Dr. Faulkner mentored many ministers and church leaders, shared his loving homespun humor and wisdom through many channels, and endeared himself to thousands. Our dear friend and mentor went to be with the Lord in 2022, but his legacy lives on in the lives of those he touched and made better.
