Anxiety

Worry is silly, really.

I was just about to post briefly, requesting prayer because I am mentally very tired this morning, feel anxious about how much thesis writing I can really get done in the next few weeks, and am being strongly tempted to worry about money.

Part of the reason for my worry had to do with an email I had read a few minutes before. However, I received another email just as I was logging on that showed me I didn't really need to be so worried about that particular thing.

What I really need is patience. So much of worry is (in my experience) rooted in a desire to know the future *now*. I need to trust in the Omniscience.
