I once watched a family friendly show on YouTube that I had watched on television when I was little.
The show was about a boy and a pet dolphin. In one episode, the little boy was worried about the dolphin because he hadn’t returned for several days to the ocean waters that the boy’s dad and another man protected. The dolphin finally showed up just as the boy’s dad’s friend had told him he would. Everything turned out okay, although something bad was really in the making.
I can be a worrywart too, so I especially need to apply this verse: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Although I do pray a lot, I probably don’t do a good job of praying about the things that bother me, some of which are none of my business.
We all are tempted to worry, but God said for us to be careful, which means not to worry or be anxious about anything. Rather, through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, we should let our requests be made known to God.
God has everything under control, and we should allow Him to have control of every area of our lives.
Don’t worry. Be happy in the Lord.
