Are you one of those people who can’t stop worrying? Does the evening news fill you with dread? And let’s not even talk about our children!
I think I’m a person who doesn’t worry enough. Things have a way of working themselves out, I’ll say. And what can I do about the debt crisis in Greece anyway?
Somewhere between these two extremes is where most of us probably end up. We find that constant worrying is exhausting, and blissful optimism is impossible to maintain, so we worry just enough to be cautious, or ask a question, or make a phone call, or plan ahead.
And if plans aren’t enough and it’s all still too much, I recommend faith. Knowing that everything is in God’s hands puts worry to bed.

It’s okay to worry … a little
