you from God.

Run to Him, not from Him.
It is possible for God to change a

Focusing on problems or worrying
about future problems that we think might
pop up, only drains our energy. An avid

herself placing what is troubling her into
a basketball and bouncing it up to God.
Worry will not overwhelm us when
the Lord is our focus. Giving Him control
of the situation relieves our worrying.
Jesus will see us through. He is our place
of rest and our shelter from the storms.
