Anxious and anxiety to the full: How to release yourself of stress and this so called thing called so

Have you ever been anxious or worried about something or what people thought about you?
Years ago, a friend of mine’s son came to her one morning before school who was eight at the time. He told her how he was worried about what his teacher would think about his project or what others would think.
She felt bad.
But then she remembered a verse in the Bible where we are called to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. How does she explain it to her son?
She tried to put it in ways he could understand. She told him that when he has a thought that makes him feel anxious or afraid to catch it like a baseball. She then cupped her hands and told him to look at it and ask, " is this something Jesus would say to me?" If the answer is no, throw that thought back into the outfield.
The boy smiled and then thanked his mother and ran off to get ready for the day.
And this mother KNEW it was going to be a better day.
