The Equity

Long ago, I heard an expression that went like this… ‘Why pray when you can worry?’ It hit home, because it is true. Worry doesn’t solve anything. Worry is different than concern. Concern is normal, healthy caring. Worry, is rolling something over and over in your mind. It affects our sleep, our countenance, and even, our general health. Been there, done that!
Praying on the other hand, is looking to the One who is higher, who knows the why of the situation and as the Bible says, He is working out His purpose for His world! When we pray and trust God, we can retain the joy He intended us to have.
