Worry...why?..I mean really....WHY?

I used to worry about everything and everything worried me. I worried about stuff that I couldn't control...and that stuff really worried me. Eventually I learned that the things I couldnt control were easy to let go of, but I still worried about the stuff I could affect. On December 24, 1988 I was worried about my dad, Christmas for my kids, bills were piling up...it was a huge burden. While I was going down the road, I was interupted in my worries by God. I had to pull off the road, and was suddenly aware of the reality that even if I could make some impact on those things, I wasn't in charge of things and that there was no reason in the world to worry about them. It became clearly evident to me that in giving up the worry part of the problems, made solving them much easier...In doing that, I was much more relaxed, able to focus on the solution vice the problem, and most importantly appreciate the fact that God was interested in MY life...I suddenly had the creator of everything helping me through the problems...and armed with that security, I was able to solve the problems, undertsand more fully the things I couldnt "solve" and appreciate the way life really plays out and the purpose of how things happen.
