take into your hands!

take it into your hands!
pg.161 Stoic 6 Pack: Epictetus

Say your nose is running
would you sit down and pray that
your nose may not run?
Fool, have you not hands?
Did not God, make them for you?
wipe yourself rather and not blame Him

similarly when faced with anxiety and Fear,
Use the 'Hands' of Endurance, Magnanimity and Courage
that God has provided you!
