Put Aside Worries

The discussion about worry is a repeated one in various Bible study and Sunday School classes. It's sometimes hard to admit that we do worry since some people believe that there is no way that we can worry IF we truly trust in our Lord.

One 90 year old spiritual mentor/Bible study friend used to talk about how she would start out with worry about family situations, money, etc., - and then pray about it, do everything she could to take care of that situation, and then simply "let go and let God!" That is my prayer that I will have that kind of faith and trust.

How do you feel about worry?  Do you believe that it's o.k. to worry as long as you know that God has you and/or the situation in His loving hands - or is that simply an oxymoron?

Today's scripture from Luke 12:22-25 is a powerful one about what Jesus taught us about worry!
