that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
that you, rooted and grounded in love,
may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones
what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge
Paul's letter to the Ephesians 3:18-19
I worry about all of us worrying about the outcome of so much that we do not have control over. Is that an interesting way to put the message out that when we worry too much, we are taking away or at least not permitting God to be "in charge" of our lives. When our hearts are full of worry, it is because we are wanting to control our own destinies rather than surrender to God. Now that's something to worry about...us controlling our own lives and taking away the power of God to work through and in our lives.
How about today we spend some time letting go of our worries and let God take back our lives. One good way to start is by being "other person" focused today, and try to get away from the self absorbing worry thoughts that can be so distracting.
