“Worry is a weakness from which very few of us are entirely free. We must be on guard against this most insidious enemy of our peace of soul. Instead, let us foster confidence in God, and thank Him ahead of time for whatever He chooses to send us.” Blessed Solanus Casey 

St. Paul gives us this admonition. “Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.^” (Philippians 4:6-7) To worry about things we have no control over is to put our attention on our own inabilities, instead on the Lord, who has a plan and purpose for everything. Worry saps our energy. Trust in the Lord’s providence strengthens us as we wait. Worry brings tension and discontent, while leaning on the Lord will bring the peace that endures. We can choose yin or yang.
