Worry

I wonder why we worry about details in life? Do we think that if we worry that God will change it or that by worrying, something will happen faster or in a more convenient way? Bottom Line: God knows the whole future. He knows the when and what and how and where. Another Bottom Line: We know nothing. But we know the ONE who does. Let God lead...just follow.

Here are some scriptures to back that up.

God obviously knows us all too well. He knows it is in our habit to worry. Instead, we should TRUST. Trust means letting someone have control over something you want to have control over. Atleast that is what is spells out for me.
