John Ortberg Quotes About Worry

• Many Christians expend so much energy and worry trying not to sin. The goal is not to try to sin less. In all your efforts to keep from sinning, what are you focusing on? Sin. God wants you to focus on him. To be with him. “Abide in me.” Just relax and learn to enjoy his presence. Every day is a collection of moments, 86,400 seconds in a day. How many of them can you live with God? Start where you are and grow from there. God wants to be with you every moment.

• Nunca te preocupes solo. Cuando la ansiedad se apodera de mi mente, se autoperpetúa. Los pensamientos preocupantes se reproducen más rápido que los conejos, así que una de las formas más poderosas de detener la espiral de la preocupación es simplemente revelar mi preocupación a un amigo... El simple acto de tranquilizar a otro ser humano se convierte en una herramienta del Espíritu para expulsar el miedo, porque tanto la paz como el miedo son contagiosos.
