4th Sunday of Lent 

Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you. (1 Peter 5:7).

Worry is totally useless. It is like rocking in a rocking chair all day. It keeps you busy, but gets you nowhere.

When we begin to look at worry in a realistic manner, we see what a complete waste it is.

Our minds revolve endlessly around and around a problem, searching for answers that only God has.

Pondering something in the grace of God is peaceful, but worry is tormenting.

We can pray and ask God to help us not to worry, but ultimately, we must choose to put our thoughts on something other than our problems.

A refusal to worry is proof that we trust God.

If you are willing to give up worrying, then you will be able to enter into an attitude of celebration and thanksgiving.

You can trust God and enjoy life while He solves your problems.

Give yourself permission to stop worrying.

Prayer of Thanks

Lord God, thank you for the gifts of peace. Help me to focus on you rather than focusing on my problems. I thank you that I do not have to let worry rule my life.

I can choose to live with peace by trusting in you.

Fr. Augustine Wong
