Anxiety Is A Lousy Friend

He may come to you in the wee hours of the morning where you begin to think about the events of the day and the fact that you will be doing them alone.

Or perhaps he will show up in the afternoon when children are sleeping and it is "supposed" to be your time to relax too. The quietness is disturbed with racing thoughts of all that STILL needs to get done before the day is over.

If he hasn't shown up yet...and it would be a surprise if he hasn't! But just in case he hasn't. Wait for it...wait for it..poof, there he is in the middle of the night. Coming to sit on your chest so you feel heavy and like you are suffocating. then he will toss thoughts here and there in your head like a bouncy ball. Disturbing your most important time of the day to rest and be refreshed and ready for the next day.

He may show up at all of those times or possibly just one. OR he may show up a million more times through the day and night. I personally don't like uninvited guests who bring bad news. So he is not welcome at my house. Although he still shows up. I don't open the door to him. I keep all my doors and windows locked and I ignore the doorbell.
So seriously, how does this guy get in? Sneaky SOB.

If you happen to find yourself "entertaining" this unwanted guest here's a little "tip" from me:)
Tell him politely to leave...I mean DEMAND that he leave. Push his butt out the door and tell him to never return! "Wow, that was easy." you might think.
But this guy is a persistent little fellow. And if he...WHEN he does return, because he will. Do the same thing. Over and over and ...

"Do not be ANXIOUS about ANYTHING. But in EVERYTHING by prayer and petition WITH thanksgiving present your requests to God. And the PEACE of GOD which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
