Letting God Do The Worrying

(1 Pet 5:7) "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."

A widow who had successfully raised a very large family was being 
interviewed by a reporter. In addition to six children of her own, she had 
adopted 12 other youngsters, and through it all she had maintained stability 
and an air of confidence. When asked the secret of her outstanding 
accomplishment, her answer to the newsman was quite surprising. She said "I 
managed so well because I'm in a partnership!" "What do you mean?" he 
inquired. The woman replied, "Many years ago I said, 'Lord, I'll do the work 
and You do the worrying.' And I haven't had an anxious care since." We could 
all profit by following the example of that mother. When we carry our part 
of the load, we need not be disturbed by the demands of life. 

A great deal of confidence comes from knowing that God cares more than 
anyone about what happens in our lives. His divine watchful eyes do not miss 
a single moment of a saint's life.

Said the Robin to the Sparrow, 
"I should really like to know 
Why these anxious human beings 
Rush about and hurry so." 

Said the Sparrow to the Robin, 
"Friend, I think that it must be 
That they have no Heavenly Father 
Such as cares for you and me."
