Our pastor started a new sermon series about emotions that get in the way of our relationship with God this week. The first sermon was about worry. And boy, was that a topic I know a lot about. Seems like worry has been my middle name these days. Not much is going according to plan these days---well, according to MY plan anyway. Our pastor joked that if you have a stomach ulcer from worrying, then you aren't placing your worries in the right hands---God's. I listened with a heavy heart on Sunday to what our pastor was preaching and realized every word of it applied to me---including the part about ulcers.
Two days later, I was taking my son to preschool, and saw yet another reminder that worry is futile. The sign on the church marquis where his preschool is located had its own message about worry. It said: "If it's not worth praying about, then it's not worth worrying about."
Twice in the same week I've been hit with the same message. And it's a smart lesson to heed. So I'm going to do my best to place my fears and worries in the hands of God. I'm not sure I'll be 100% successful, but I'm going to do my best----or develop an ulcer trying. :)
