Tuesday’s Musings – The Woes of Worry


Luke 12:25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Yesterday morning the cameras showed a close-up of a television personality whom I particularly like. I gazed upon his completely smooth wrinkle-free forehead and thought, “He must have been Botoxed.”  Don’t worry lines come with being an adult?  I’m better than I used to be but sometimes it’s just difficult to “let go and let God.” William Ward wrote, “Worry distorts our thinking, disrupts our work, disquiets our soul, disturbs our body, disfigures our face, destroys our poise, depresses our friends, demoralizes our life, defeats our faith and debilitates our energy.”  So there!  Try not to worry. Not everyone can afford Botox.

Dear Lord, help us to cast all our cares upon you. You are our peace.  Let your love strengthen us and help us face things that cause us worry. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
God Bless,
Paige
