You can, of course, do this for any other topic you are concerned about (e.g. STRESS).
Here I will add another supplementary one, about diseases:
Most people who suffer…, most cases of physical illnesses, have a psychological factor as their starting point…
Most people get sick -mainly physically- because of anxiety, stress, sadness, worries, hypersensitivity, depression, problems, pressure…; much more so, when the problems come back, one after another…
As if these are not enough… sometimes they even reach the point of having a so-called… “panic attack”!!! Is this possible!!!
How fake, how foolish, are all these!!!
Let us not act like this, my brethren! No!!!
Out with the worries, out with the stresses, out with the sorrows, out with the anxieties, out with…anything that spoils our mood and especially our spiritual state…
On the contrary, try to be, not only calm (see short P.A. 697), but also to keep your JOY ALL THE TIME… despite being in the middle of many and any problems!!!
You will see that they will all pass…
Imagine a container full of water…
Try dipping a…cork into the water and let it go!
Will you manage to keep the cork under the water?
Of course not!!!!
The same thing should happens to us, my brethren…
Even if we have a real physical illness (and much more an imaginary or a hypothetical one) or even any other problems, “sad”, unpleasant… (which I liken to the water which I mentioned above); even in these cases (and in any other cases…) -I am telling you- let your JOY be like the “cork“, which floats ABOVE the “waters” of the “trials” and the “sorrows”…
And it will all pass…
From now on, then, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice (Philipp. 4:4)”.
Yes, my brethren, always remember this: Everywhere and “always Rejoice”…(1 Thessalonians 5:16)
The first witnesses who will testify to the truth of what is written here will be you yourselves!
Do it and you will see…
