Rick Warren Worry Quotations

There are many different kinds of doubt. When we doubt the future, we call it worry. When doubt other people we call is suspicion. When we doubt ourselves we call it inferiority. When we doubt God we call it unbelief. When we doubt what we hear on television we call it intelligence! When we doubt everything we call it cynicism or skepticism.

Worry is really just a form of atheism. Every time you worry, you're acting like an atheist. You're saying, "It all depends on me." That's just not in the Bible.

If what I do pleases God, it is always the right thing to do, and I can stop worrying about everyone else's reactions. This dramatically simplifies life.

It’s not just what you eat that matters, it’s what eats you. You can have all the right macrobiotics and organic food, but if your body is filled with resentment, worry, fear, lust, guilt, anger, bitterness, or any other emotional disease, it’s going to shorten your life.

Don't worry about what you don't have if you do have faith!

You must never let your personal life be outpaced by your professional life. If you do, [if] your professional life takes more of your time than your personal life, then that's called stress, okay? And it's called worry and things like that. Worry is a sign that you're trying to be God. The greatest stress reliever to me is this sentence: God is God, and I'm not.

If you prayed as much as you worry, you'd have nothing to worry about.

The more you pray, the less you'll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You'll feel more patient and less pressured.

Worry is a waste of energy. It cant change the past. It cant control the future. It only makes today miserable

Worry is the warning light that shows I’ve stopped looking to God to meet my needs.

Worry is focused thinking on something negative. Meditation is doing the same thing only focusing on God's word instead of your problem.

The first step to becoming what God made you to be is to stop worrying about what others want you to be.

While we worry about how fast we grow, God is concerned about how strong we grow.

When God is at the center of your life, you Worship, when He's not, you Worry.

Many people allow their need for other people's approval to control their lives. They spend their lives worrying about what others think of them.
