mingled with sorrow that it has been turned into subdued, holy, sanctified joy.--Lt 65a,
1894. (2SM 273, 274.) {2MCP 464.3}
Separation From God Brings Anguish of Soul.--It was the anguish of separation
from His Father's favor that
465
made Christ's sufferings so acute. As the agony of soul came upon Him, "His sweat
was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground" (Luke 22-44). His
terrible anguish, caused by the thought that in this hour of need God had forsaken Him,
portrays the anguish that the sinner will feel when, too late, he realizes that God's Spirit
is withdrawn from him.--MS 134, 1905. {2MCP 464.4}
Understood When We Walk in Paradise.--The earth has a history that man will
never understand until he walks with his Redeemer in the paradise of God. "For the
Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living
fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes" (Revelation
7:17).--MS 28, 1898. {2MCP 465.1}

Worry and Anxiety
Chap. 50 - Worry and Anxiety
Worry, Not Work, Kills.--It is not work that kills; it is worry. The only way to avoid
worry is to take every trouble to Christ. Let us not look on the dark side. Let us cultivate
cheerfulness of spirit.--Lt 208, 1903. {2MCP 466.1}
Dwelling Upon the Difficulties.--Some are always fearing and borrowing trouble.
Every day they are surrounded with the tokens of God's love; every day they are
enjoying the bounties of His providence; but they overlook these present blessings.
Their minds are continually dwelling upon something disagreeable which they fear may
come; or some difficulty may really exist which, though small, blinds their eyes to the
many things that demand gratitude. The difficulties they encounter, instead of driving
them to God, the only source of their help, separate them from him because they
awaken unrest and repining.--SC 121, 122 (1892). {2MCP 466.2}
Worry Makes the Burden Heavy.--I greatly fear that we are in danger, by worrying,
of manufacturing yokes for our necks. Let us not worry; for thus we make the yoke
severe and the burden heavy. Let us do all we can without worrying, trusting in Christ.
Study His words,
