Worry Is Meddling

Some of us seem to be “by nature” worriers. I know---I am one of them. But this does not in the least excuse me. Worry is forbidden by our Lord as useless. We can’t increase our height by worrying, Jesus said. The future is God’s business. We are not to meddle with it. We may quietly talk to the Manager if we think trouble is brewing. He knows what to do, while we would only create confusion. It is quite impossible simultaneously to believe God and to worry. Lord, you are the Blessed Controller of all things. Help me to give up meddling and to leave the matter to You who not only perfectly understand the need but are perfectly able to handle it.
