Living in modern times, we are unconsciously disturbed by the constant influx of information.

...When we look at the news and social media, we notice a lot of dark topics such as incidents, disasters, and scandals.

The media, in order to attract attention, tends to emphasize negative events, exploiting the human instinct to focus on negative things.

As a result, we worry and fear more than we actually do. 😰

According to research by Professor T.D. Volkovek, a psychologist at Pennsylvania State University,
...79% of worries never actually happen.
...Of the remainder, 16% can be dealt with if prepared in advance.

Only about 5% of situations are truly uncontrollable. 😨

...When people are afraid or anxious about the future, they lose their will to live.
...When you face life's challenges or anxieties about an uncertain future,
...remember today's words!

The Lord is telling you, "Do not be afraid today!"
Shalom 😄
