What Will It Be: Worry or Prayer?

I once heard a pastor identify worry as allowing our mind to dwell on difficulties or troubles - either real or perceived or imagined. Sarah Young gives an interesting definition of anxiety which is brought on by worry: "Anxiety is a result of envisioning the future without God." I have never before thought about worry and anxiety in light of these particular words. I pray that God will use these words in helping me break this "lack of faith" called worry!

Today's scripture from Luke is so clear on this issue that likely affects most people in the world some of the time - or even all of the time! We are reminded again that we have a choice of worry or prayer. What do you do to combat the worry habit?
