worry vs concern


I am reading a book called " Having a Mary Heart in A Martha World". The book is based on the Mary and Martha story in the bible. This chart I thought was important and wanted to share.


Concern

+Involves a legitimate threat
+Is specific (one thing)
+Addresses the problem
+Solves problems
+Looks to God for answer

Worry

+Is often unfounded
+Is generalized (many things)
+Obsesses about the problem
+Creates more problems
+Looks to self or others for answers
