Worry

I've been worrying a lot lately, about all sorts of things.  I must admit I'm a worrywart, but it has been worse than normal lately.  Almost subconsciously, I've very much had this idea that if I can just deal with the things that are causing my worry, the worry will go away.  But I realized tonight that having that approach to my worries doesn't get to the root of the problem--doesn't get anywhere close, really.  It's like trying to put a Band-aid on a wound that needs disinfectant and stitches.  It may make the problem seem better in the short run, but in the long run you're only making the problem worse.

Worrying is failing to trust that God will take care of everything for me.  I may say that I trust Him, but my feelings and my actions show otherwise.  I pray that God will remake me in His image; I pray that I will have the humility to accept His teachings.
