Strengthen Me

Strengthen me, O God, by the grace of Your Holy Spirit; grant me to be strengthened with might in the inner self, and to put away from my heart all useless anxiety and distress, and let me never be drawn aside by various longings after anything whatever, whether it be worthless or precious; but may I regard all things as passing away, and myself as passing away with them.

Worry

No one has to remind you of the high cost of anxiety. ... 

Worry divides the mind. ... 

Anxiety splits our energy between 

today's priorities and tomorrow's problems. 

Part of our mind is on the now; the rest is on the not yet. 

The result is half-minded living.

(Max Lucado, Grace For The Moment, Volume II, 20 October)

Most Gracious Lord

Most gracious Lord,

• I implore you to keep me from the cares of this life, lest I find myself entangled in them;
• from the body's wants, lest I become enslaved to them;
• from every obstacle of the soul, lest I break under the anxiety and utterly collapse.

(Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation Of Christ, Book 3, Chapter 26, p. 116)
