Have you ever noticed that we are incredibly impatient? We want everything to work on OUR timetable and when it doesn't... One of the biggest causes of our stress and anxiety (and all the health conditions related to them) is the fact we do not seem to know how to be patient!
My Grandmother used to call me "Worrier" because I would worry about everything. My mindset was "I only have a brief time on Earth and what if I can't get everything done that I want to do?" It wasn't until I had heart surgery that I began to realize that God is the one with the timetable. Therefore, I have exactly the right amount of life for Him to accomplish His plans for me.
What an incredible relief that has been! Now, I still struggle with worry, but when I realize that I am stressing about it, that is the time I need to stop, drop, and pray!
