Bear Grylls Quote

Fears and worries - about things that are long passed, or that may never materialize in our future - all weigh us down and slow us up.So where you can, drop the worries.Jesus talked a lot about this, and this was a guy who had some serious reasons to worry. After all, he was about to be tortured to death on a cross, bearing the pain and burden of every bad deed and thought ever done by mankind. Now that is a proper-sized weight to carry!But yet he still said: ‘Cast your burdens on to me, for I care for you.’That verse is a good thing to remember, and it has helped me so many times to overcome some pretty big worries.Even if you find it hard to believe for yourself, and even if you haven’t quite figured out all the theological details, just try it for the heck of it! What do you have to lose, apart from a little pride? (And pride is never a great thing to have too much of anyway.)So just claim Christ’s promise over your concerns. Close your eyes and pass them upstairs to Him. Pass them up, then let them go.And one final word on worrying. Remember this: You must learn to live in the Present.It doesn’t last for ever.
