Are stress and worry evidence of a soul too lazy, too undisciplined, to keep gaze fixed on God?

So in the midst of educating and parenting our children, we can't necessarily go ahead and make everything fit into neat, controllable, simple schedules. But the point is, simplicity is: how do we keep our eyes fixed and focused on Christ, no matter where we are?
