“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”
Luke 12:25
• “What if she gets hurt?” “What if they have a wreck on the way?” “What if some of the girls ignore her?” “What if . . . ” I had a whole list of “what if” worries to give my husband when our daughter left for her first youth-group retreat. You see, I’m a worrier. But admit it—it’s easy to worry when a child is out of sight, right? I’ve always worried when others are in charge of her, ever since she fell and cut her lip right before my husband and I went out for our first “date” since adopting her. I called home to check with the babysitter—twice— while we sat at a “relaxing” meal. . . . And the babysitter was my mom! Okay, I’m a worrier. But I’ve improved. Really. I’ve noticed that when I trust God a little bit more, I worry a little bit less. That’s better, isn’t it? And life is so much sweeter. Worry unplugs us from God’s power source.
