“Pray and let God worry.” - Martin Luther

You may have heard the adage that it’s a good idea not to “borrow trouble”. Worry is a form of borrowing trouble because we make up a story in our heads that something is wrong, or we need to worry about them. Given the chance, we can find a basketful of things to worry about every hour of our lives.

God doesn’t want you to lug around your basket of worries. He doesn’t want you to spend your waking hours wondering what else you might have done, or how you could have changed things so that there would be a different result. He doesn’t want you to blame yourself for each thing that doesn’t go quite right.

The thing God wants is your trust and your faith, and your understanding that He will never leave you. He knows what you need before you even ask. He knows the things that weigh you down and make you week.
