The prompt didn't say where the quote should come from and I've written about a lot of prompts before now, never about a quote that have played much in how I live my life. One quote that is from the holy Bible, a quote that I could say it anytime and anywhere to remind myself about life and how short it is.
Before this quote, the death of someone whether close or not, wakes me up to reality or put me back on the right because of the fears that I may die one day. Well, this quote took away my fears and replaced it with what I call "It's fine not to worry".
Whether we accept the truth or not, the world has gotten to the level of, worry! Worry more! Worry a lot more! so much that one who isn't showing signs of worries could be mistaken for an evil person lol. Yes, it is that serious but some would admire people who worry less so there's always those who see the good in it especially when they can't afford to.
It's not like I can afford to not worry, there's way too much not to worry about as a human but then, this quote plays in my head like music to limit how much time I should give into worrying about whatever I'm faced with. Is it possible to be totally worry free? I've asked myself this over and over especially when the quote plays in my head.
Even though we know as humans that we don't have tomorrow in our hands and the next minute is decided by God Almighty, we can't help but worry about what we would eat, wear or where to rest our heads for the night. There's even an increase in our worries as people now worry about secondary things that we don't even need.
Well, I am one of them and this quote wakes me up countless time. It's in a Bible verse but one that has stuck in my heart since the first time I came across it.
I remember how I would sing it to my siblings at home especially on days that things aren't going so well as planned. The quote says, it is bound to happen. We are humans and our lives are of fewer days but with so much troubles. So if we worry about one today, we would worry about another tomorrow, it never ends.
It is best we limit the time we give to worrying and instead, rely on God and let Him who owns tomorrow be in charge. I can't explain how happy this quote makes me feel, I've had real life testimonies from just believing and living by this quote. Talk of experiencing the power of a quote, I've had many.
Some of my friends would say I am too relaxed when they are worried about how to get things done, overcome a phase or win a situation. What they never knew was that, I was only limiting how much I worry to have God take charge. I mean, who wouldn't want the easier route to take in bad situations? Definitely not me, I choose to live by this quote and live life free and happy as much as I can.
It is the easiest quote but obviously, one that we find hard to take because we are humans. In all, I love this quote and I try my best to live by it.
This is my response to the Hive naija prompt and I am inviting you to participate as well.
