Matthew 6:25–34 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? …
1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
I know these things. I trust in the Lord. But, my retirement accounts are looking like the big drop on the world’s largest roller coaster. But I see layoffs of my co-workers with hundreds more coming over the next year. But I see my project winding down to nothing early next year. But I see no new projects coming in the new year or next.But...but…but…BUT WHY DO I STILL WORRY!
Sigh…Time for casting that anxiety with serious prayer and petition, starting with the thanks for what God has provided.

It is so much easier to say than do though, the not worrying thing.
I trust God....but look at what is going on seems to be my natural response.
