Worry

We all worry, about our future, our children, our homes, our safety, our health and many other concerns. Some people worry about many trivial things that also cause friction and division among families. We know that God can help us in many of these situations, only if we let Him help us. Unfortunately many people shut Him out of their lives, and then expect Him to show up like Superman to save them from some catastrophe. So, let go and let God....handle your pressures, your worries, your problems, your troubles. After listening to so many people over the years through counselling and spiritual direction, I came to the conclusion that the most useful and pleasant people are those who leave some of their problems for God to worry about. We have to realize that we don’t have all the answers for all the questions of this world. We worry too much, about petty and insignificant things. It’s amazing how much time we spend worrying about the things we shouldn’t worry about, and how little time we dedicate to other more important things in our lives. Surrender to what is. Let go of what was. And have faith in what will be. And in conclusion, try to remember this quote which is a tongue twister, but makes a lot of sense when you reflect on it: DON’T TROUBLE TROUBLE TILL TROUBLE TROUBLES YOU. YOU’LL ONLY DOUBLE TROUBLE AND TROUBLE OTHERS TOO.
