When i was child, I was thrilled with the fairy tales written by Hans Christian Andersen. One is the famous tale "The Emperor's New Clothes" (The Emperor's New Clothes). At one point Hans Christian Andersen had experienced phobias that he will be buried alive. Therefore, he always carried in his pocket a memo that says that if someone found him in a state of unconsciousness, lest he be considered dead. Often he also left a note on the table beside his bed which read, "I just seemed to be dead." That anxiety is always endured until finally he died of cancer in 1875.
We may think it strange that such fears, but maybe we also have a fear that someday will look weird like that? Could it be that one day we 'll be amazed by our own anxiety in the past? Could we someday be amazed at our stupidity that does not want to pray and continue to feel anxious? Could we one day be the person to be pitied, which always disturbed by fear because they do not face life with common sense that God gave the universe?
Worries not change anything. Conversely, trust in God to change our whole outlook on life. Forgive us O God, because our tendency to worry. Help us to realize how stupid we were when worrying about things that actually would have you fulfill your appointment. Do not let us bury ourselves alive with fear.
When we entrust our troubles into the hands of God, He will give His peace in our hearts.
