Against Worry

No matter how often we might read about the birds of the air and the lilies of the field (Mt 6:24-24), feel good about it and tell ourselves not to worry, God is taking care of everything, and even when he does, often in a spectacular or inexplicable way, we still find ourselves somewhere down the line worrying again...Is it :a "worry gene" with which we are all fitted?  Is it a lack of faith and trust that causes tremors in our resolve "never to worry again"?  Worry comes back time and time again, despite our protests and efforts; part of our "wounded human nature", meaning that we must come back to this passage time and time again, to renew our faith and trust.  If it worked many a time previously, it will work again.  Perhaps it should be part of our daily quiet reflection and thus ward off worry even before it comes.
