Are you a good worrier? If so, think about this. When you are worrying what are you doing? You are practicing NEGATIVE "What if" thinking.
What if I loose my job and can't pay the bills? What if I make that speech and choke? What if I talk to that person and they reject me?
Notice that you are imagining the worst case scenario. What if you where to imagine the best case scenario?
What if I lose my job and God has something better in store? What if I make that speech and it touches someone's life for eternity? What if I talk to that person and they become a life long friend?
Why not try "reverse worrying." When you find yourself worrying about the worst, why not switch that around and think about the best case scenario?
I like what David said in 2 Samuel 12:22. He imagines the best. He says, " Who knows? The Lord may be gracious to me and let the child live."

Hi there. This has nothing to do with your blog but I stumbled across your site while searching for an old friend of mine. His name is Chris Sedlemajer. If you could tell him hello for me and forward my email address to him I would truly appreciate it. Thank you.
With warmest regards,
