Worry

"What me worry?"  Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Neuman has made this a classic question, but the truth is, we all worry.  Jesus frequently argues that there really is nothing to worry about, citing the lilies of the field, the birds of the air, the hairs on our head and our worth compared to the many sparrow that fly undaunted daily, finding all they need to eat and nest.  Yet we persist in our obsession with worry fear and anxiety
Noted spiritual author, Caryll Houselander, wrote many years ago that trust is accepting that "whatever God allows to happen, is, in his plan of love, what is really best for you and those whom you love." (Magnificat, October, p.296).  She continues:  "The more you say, 'I must not worry,' the more you will: I think it better simply to offer the worrying to God...." (op.cit.)  She dealt with worry by imagining the worst that could happen and then asked, "So what?"  If it worked for her, it might just work for us.
