Sometimes, I catch myself worrying over absolutely nothing. Things could be perfectly fine and suddenly I'll be overcome with anxiety.I noticed this even more after I became a mother, I would just lie in bed wide awake thinking about every possible thing.  Did the baby eat enough before going to bed?  Did I make sure his blanket wasn't too close to his face?  Are the windows locked? Did anyone feel like that?  Maybe, it was because I was now responsible for another life; a tiny, helpless child's every need now depended on me.With each child came more responsibility, and I had to force myself over and over again to stop thinking about all the what if's.  There were too many other things that needed Mom's time. Which, quite honestly, meant there was absolutely no spare time for worry. My spiritual father told me to chase away those anxious thoughts with the Jesus Prayer.  And it works.  To this day, I chase away those pesky thoughts that come to steal my thoughts and attention, with the words,

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.   

I read somewhere, that in the Bible, it says Do not fear 365 times.  A reminder for every day of the year, perhaps?Here's what else the Bible has to say about being worry and anxiety.So, whenever you find yourself drowning in life--don't worry.   Your lifeguard walks on water.
