Look Again and Think
If you have difficulty with worrying about everything, take the advice of a holy priest. It is relatively easy to worry, especially when you take a look at the news. Every day something happens that can bring us added anxiety. However, Jesus would often say to his disciples, “Do not worry about your life” (Matthew 6:25).
How can we avoid worrying? That is more easily said than done, the key is the attitude you have. The ability to not worry is based entirely on a trusting abandonment to God’s providence. It means we trust that God has our ultimate good in mind and that even in the worst of sufferings, he has good in store for us. This trusting attitude in God should be a common theme among all of us. If you want to reduce your worry in the world, place your trust in God, not in any human power this world has to offer. We can’t place our ultimate trust in health, political officials, things of this world or anyone else in leadership.
What we can do is trust God.
