Worry Less

More Life, Less Worry

"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" Luke 12:25

"What if she gets hurt?"
"What if some of the girls ignore her?"
"What if..." I had a whole list of 'what if" worries to give my husband when our daughter left for her first youth-group retreat.
You see, I'm a worrier. But admit it--it's easy to worry when a child is out of sight, right? I've always worried when others are in charge of her ever since she fell and cut her lip right before my husband and I went out for our first "date" since adopting her. I called home to check with the babysitter--twice--while we sat at a "relaxing" meal...And the babysitter was my mom!
Okay, I'm a worrier. but I've improved. Really. I've noticed that when I trust God a little bit more, I worry a little bit less. That's better, isn't it? And life is so much sweeter.
Worry unplugs us from God's Power source. Kathryn Lay
