00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:15,500
Living in the land of “What if....?” leads 
to emotional paralysis and sets the stage 
for doom-and-gloom thinking.

2
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:23,300
Mental strength is found by deliberately 
choosing to avoid those questions and, instead, 
focus on the present moment.

3
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:29,300
You see, happiness cannot thrive in a prison 
of the past or fear of the future.

4
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:35,200
Worry regarding the past or the future is 
a time-waster and not a virtue.

5
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:38,400
Worry centers you on problems you can't change.

6
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:44,600
The only way you can affect situations outside 
of your control is through prayer.

7
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:49,500
As George Herbert said, “Prayer should be 
the key of the day and the lock of the night.”

8
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:56,300
My challenge for you today: instead of worrying, 
try praying. I’m Mac Hammond; this is the
