The love and presence of God energizes the one meditating. Thoughts and cares are kept in close contact with God, not one&#8217;s self or self-interests. <em>Prayer, worship, and centering are interrelated with meditation.<\/em><\/h3>\n<h3>In <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Worry<\/span> (in Christians or any one) thoughts are repetitive and \u00a0ingrown, not centered on <em>apart<\/em> from self and move toward collapse, snuffing out our energy and health. Worry thoughts stay with the self, and do not move outward or around a stabilizing idea or deity. This causes degeneration into a Worry Spiral that undercuts growth, health, and well-being. Other problems may arise like illness, anxiety disorders, depression, paranoia, and much more.<\/h3>\n<p>In part 3, I&#8217;ll unpack how to move from Worry, which is negative, to Meditation which is peace and life-giving.<\/p>\n<p>Did you read the previous Post? <a href=\"https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/blog\/2012\/10\/15\/secrets-to-up-cycling-worry-part-1\/\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Please read Part 1<\/span><\/a> of this series where I discuss some common misunderstanding of Worry.<\/p>\n<p>Do <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">you<\/span> think I got it right?
