What can you control?

Most of the time, we worry about things beyond our control.  If you were to worry about something, pause and take a mental step back.  Ask yourself, "Can I control this?"

The weather.

Other people.

Other nations.

The economy.

And the list goes on and on.

But if you do find yourself worrying, ask God to relieve you of the stress and handle your worries.  For example, my wife has end stage liver failure.  The end is more than likely near.  How near, I don't know.  Only God does.  Instead of worrying about it, I cherish every single moment I am with her as I ask God to take all of my worry from me.

Years ago, my wife and i were in a severe financial situation (full disclosure, we have been in situations like this several times).  We then prayed to God to relieve us of the worry and show us what to do.  You know what happened?  God showed us what to do.

What are you worrying about today?  Even if it's within your control, ask God for help.
