Stop
Worrying

"I
worry about them. I can't help it. I always will," she
said.
"I
hope so," he replied. "You should."
"But
you always tell me I worry too much."
"You
do. But usually about things you have no control over, no
influence
on at all, big or little."
"Like
what?"
"How
about those two deer you saw running through your yard
today?"
"What
about them?"
"You
stood at the window praying for them. You watched them run down
over
the hill and you stood there praying for them."
"I
just wanted God to guide them back up over the hill and away from
the
highway below."
"Did
he?"
"I
don't know. I waited. I saw them come up part way. But then I
didn't
see them any more."
"So,
did God answer your prayer?"
"I
don't know. I'm sure He did. "
"Why?"
"Because
God watches over all and when I put things in His hands I
don't
need to worry anymore."
"Did
you do everything you could for your children? Did you feed
them,
clothe them, make them well when they were sick?"
"Yes.
You know I did."
"Did
you pray for them?"
"Yes!
I still do."
"So..."
"So....what?"
"You're
telling me that God brought the deer safely back into the
woods,
but you don't trust Him with your kids?"
"That's
different."
"The
deer have a better chance in traffic. My kids are with my
sister!"
"And
she lives next door to you!"
"God,
it's me. I need your help again. It's my
sister!"
As
silly as this all seems we do this all the time. We trust God for
the
little things and move on, but worry about how He'll handle the
big
things in our lives. Because we want it to be our way, not
His.
He
is God of all things, little and big.
Stop
worrying!
"I
believe in you!"
