When worry overtakes me I often struggle to make sense of why I’m worried. I have learned to pause and take time to reflect on the situation and delay decisions or responses until I have thought it through completely. God gave us our minds so that we can sift through our emotions and discard those that are off base. Instead of letting circumstances control me – I take hold of the facts and come to a prudent decision as well-thought out as I am capable of. I will often seek counsel from others in formulating a response. What’s the rush? Take the time to make sure you get it right.
