Fear Is a Thief

I have been watching the TV series "Touched by an Angel."

I love this series as it has so many great and profound quotes. I have decided to use one of those quotes for today's post. It is a quote on fear.

How many times have you been fearful of something that might happen? I know I have been there plenty of times. I play out scenarios of things to come based on my very limited knowledge of the present. I then get all worked up and feel miserable the rest of the day.

I try to tell myself to stop this habit of mine as it is not very productive. Sometimes I am successful and at other times... let's say that I am still a work in progress.

When I looked through the quotes, I found this one to be particularly touching and I hope that it will be as enlightening to you as it was to me.

"Fear is a thief.  It steals all your todays by making ya dread tomorrow.  But today is all you have.  It's all anyone has and there's no reason to worry about tomorrow.  God is already there." ~~Monica, The Wind Beneath My Wings
