Worry is the antithesis of trust. You simply cannot do both. They are mutually exclusive.

The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived - not always looked forward to as though the "real" living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.

God is God. Because he is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what he is up to.

If God, like a father, denies us what we want now it is in order to give us some far better thing later on. The will of God, we can rest assured, is invariably a better thing.

God's command 'Go ye, and preach the gospel to every creature' was the categorical imperative. The question of personal safety was wholly irrelevant.

To be a follower of the Crucified means, sooner or later, a personal encounter with the cross. And the cross always entails loss.

God is God. I dethrone Him in my heart if I demand that he act in ways that satisfy my idea of justice.
