Message taken from The Daily Dad Podcast: You’re anxious. You’re stressed. You worry. This can consume you. Change you. Cripple you. Think about what your anxiety costs you, think about it honestly and painfully. Think of the arguments it’s created. Think of the things it made you say no to, the things that might have been so much fun—for you and your kids. Think of the damage it has done to relationships, to your self-confidence, to your ability to enjoy life, to be a good father.
The truth, as Seneca said, is that “there are more things likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” One of the most wonderful passages in Meditations is where Marcus Aurelius looks at his own tunnel of worry and fear. “Today, I escaped my anxiety,” he writes, “or rather, I discarded it, for it is within me.”
Your anxiety is a story you’re creating. It’s within you. Worse, it is eating at and harming not just you, but your kids. Which is why we must, as best we can, discard it. Delete the story. Let it go. Don’t let it control you. Don’t let it take from you the things you can never get back.
Philippians 4:6 – Don’t worry about anything: instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done.
