I like to hold onto things that help me solve problems, live a better life in service and spiritual growth. Worry is not something to hold onto. Worry has never really solved anything for me. And it saps emotional energy. So I turn it over to God. I let it go rather than tell myself to stop worrying. I feel God is part of the energy in my “letting go.” Trust. Let God worry. People tend to hold onto stuff they don’t need or are no longer of use. Such stuff is in their garage or their fearful heart. Bad places for storage of such stuff. It is not that I don’t try to solve problems. It is just that I don’t worry about solving problems. Saves energy so I can write blogs.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
