It’s so true that “worry” and “trust in God’, never go hand in hand. We can not say that we trust in God, if we are worrying. Trust in God comes from knowing and understanding that our Father-Mother God is infinitely good, kind, loving, caring, dependable, the source of all good, who is also the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving God.
God knows everything and He has the best plans for us. If our earthly parents always plan the best things for us and give us the best, will not our divine parent God, do much more for us? We just need to calmly and confidently trust in His all power to give us only the best, though certain situations in our life seem bleak, dreary and beyond our reach. God gives us the right ideas and inspirations which lead us to a sure victory.
Thanks Evan for this lovely reminder that worry is dissolved with a deeper trust in God.
Thanks, Evan, and all Beautiful Commenters! I always think of, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thy own understanding……” How do you trust God, if you don’t have trust in God….?? I guess it could start with just a “willingness” to trust and telling this vague “God concept” that we are simply willing, but don’t really know how. I know God loves honesty and a simple, pure heart. Also, just waking up in the morning and saying, “Good Morning, God” will help to establish a faith and trust that there is a God who loves and cares for us. It can help get our relationship with God established, because we have to have some kind of a relationship with God (a getting to know God) before we can really trust Him/Her. Blessings to All!
I often have this discussion with my husband that all the sleeplessness and worry never made anything come faster or better. I think it is better to think of being alert than worrying. Alert seems to appeal to him. I give it to God and remember the first commandment.
How deeply our society has been ingrained with the responsibility – “It’s my job to worry”!! It’s like saying “You are irresponsible if you are not afraid”…
Isn’t it amazing how 8 little words (the quote at the top) with depth and truth have started off all these people thinking and interacting with one another in such a positive way.
Thankyou Evan for these insightful quotes you put up…sometimes we need to think…rather than “be fed” ideas that someone else has put alot of time into.

“Worry is atheism,” someone told me of this quote, once.
Impressed me! You, too?
:<))
OH WHAT AN INTERESTING THOUGHT..that is right. To worry means you doubt God’s care for you!
