"It is not work that kills; it is worry. The only way to avoid worry is to take every trouble to Christ. Let us not look on the dark side. Let us cultivate cheerfulness of spirit. If we educated our souls to have more faith, more love, greater patience, a more perfect trust in our heavenly Father, we would have more peace and happiness as we pass through the conflicts of this life. The Lord is not pleased to have us fret and worry ourselves out of the arms of Jesus. He is the only source of every grace, the fulfillment of every promise, the realization of every blessing. Our pilgrimage would indeed be lonely were it not for Jesus. 'I will not leave you comfortless' John 14:18, He says to us. Let us cherish His words, believe His promises, repeat them by day and meditate upon them in the night season, and be happy." - Ellen G. White, Mind, Character, and Personality.
Thoughts To Ponder
Some, without any real immediate reason for concern, are afraid to suffer and die; others actually are experiencing a debilitating or terminal disease that will likely kill them. Others perhaps truly are facing another life-threatening situation. How can people in those circumstances be comforted?
Jacob showed "great fear and distress" Gen. 32:7 in preparing to meet Esau. Joseph
