What are some strategies you’ve used to overcome worry? Were these helpful or not? Explain.
-
Over worry I have faith and prepare as much as I could throughout the day in order to be ready for tomorrow.
-
Some strategies I’ve use to overcome worry are prayer, singing, and journaling. Prayer allows me to ask God to show me how to examine my role in the relationship and to lay my worry about it at His feet. I sing to release any tension being held. Finally, journaling allows me to speak to God in writing. Yes, these strategies help me to be honest with my feelings and pour my heart out to God, accept when I have been wrong and seek forgiveness and when wronged be willing to forgive.
-
I continue to work on spending time alone with God to submit my worries as my first thought and action. This exercise has improved over the years. However, I have moments when focusing on my concerns is easier.
-
When I am worrying, I usually do make it a matter of prayer. I also try to read about the subject at hand and try to do something about the issue. Otherwise, I resort to diversion of my attention, by working as an escape, just trying to keep my mind occupied. Sometimes it might be an unhealthy diversion, but it helps me to get it off my mind.
-
I recite Psalm 23 and the Lord’s Prayer. They are helpful to me even if I need to recite them a few times.
