worry

Worry is the fear that God will not do you good (in a given situation).

No wonder then that worry is an affront to Him; we are disbelieving His goodness toward those whom He paid so much to redeem! "He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?" (Rom.8:32). If you really believe He is good, and is always good toward His beloved children through Christ - then you will be at peace, believing that whatever He works out in your life, it will prove to be an expression of His goodness.

Worry is fearing that God will not do what you want Him to do. We believe that He loves us, but we want to define what that love will look like. We think we know best what is best for us. We are a child who says to his mother, "if you loved me, you would let me ______ " (eat ice cream all day. play in the busy street. have a gorilla for a pet. not go to school. not give me unpleasant consequences for disobeying.) And we tell God, "If You really loved me, You would do what I wanted!" (Not allow me to be sick. Give me a pleasant life with no uncomfortable circumstances. Not allow people I loved die or move away.)

Believe His wisdom. Believe His goodness. And having taken all your concerns to Him, rest your heart.
