"Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway." -Mary C. Crowley
Weekly Thought
It is believed by some that worrying is a sin. Do you believe that? How could such a natural and common emotion be a violation of God's will?
Without attempting to answer that question, all of us can argue that worry is rarely, if ever, helpfuland it is usually detrimental to our quality of life. Worry is bad for our physical health, bad for our mental health, and it doesn't change anything.
Fundamentally, worry is a lack of faith in God and His protection and provision in our lives. That's why some call it a sin. It is true He doesn't promise to make everything turn out like we want it to. But He does promise to meet all our needs and to never forsake us.
Will you believe Him? If so why worry? With God beside us, there are no real worries.
God You clothe and feed all the birds outside my window, so I know You care for me. Amen.

One of my home group members says often "If you pray, why worry. And if you're going to worry, why bother praying?" He says he overheard it and only shares it, doesn't take credit for it.
