A Psychologist walked around a room while teaching Stress Management to an

audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the

"Half empty or Half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired:

"How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it.

If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. She continued, "The Stresses and Worries in Life are like that Glass of Water... Think

About them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And If you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed

incapable of doing anything." Phil 4:6 do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your requests to God.

Remember to put the glass down and pray. You have a loving father who loves you. And after Prayer please do not pick the glass up. Leave it at the feet of Jesus. He is more than able, nothing is impossible for Him to do. Do not let anything or anyone steal your joy...nothing's worth it.. End the week a little lighter!!!
