Padre Pio on Anxiety

Uploaded on Sep 19, 2008/Reflection for 9/23/08 from Apostleship of Prayer
In Matthew 6:34, Jesus states that we should trust in Him instead of allowing anxiety to control us: ”Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil. By itself, anxiety is just an emotion like any other. There is nothing bad or sinful about it. God gave us emotions to help us relate to other people and the world around us. Anxiety is meant to be a helpful tool, not a burden. When it starts to creep in, we should try to figure out how we are in danger or what is bothering us.
