When we worry, we whine. We whine about our finances,
job, children and spouse. Then there is the worry that goes with aging parents
who need us to assist them to the doctor or with household problems, or maybe
they even live with us. What about the loved ones who are away serving our
country, and we don’t even know where they are? We worry.
I have never had a nineteen-year-old son go into the
military and leave the country, but many have, and I can’t imagine the worry
that accompanies the fear of the unknown.
Reasons for worry are everywhere. We wake up to daily
concerns and go to bed with them every night. When we worry—and I venture to
say we have all done this—we enter an area that, as believers, God has told us not
to. He plainly says, “Do not worry.”
