Worry is the interest paid on trouble before it is due. "William Inge"
Worry is the stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged it casts a channel into
which all other thoughts are drained. "A.S. Roche"

| I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and the mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord. Psalm 40:1-3 |
