Give your worries to God

Give your worries to God: A thief enters your house and you manage to catch him. What do you do with him? You are not allowed to punish him; you have to hand him over to the police. Another story: A tiger has begun to prowl around a village. What are the options for the villagers? Can they handle the situation by themselves?  Most probably, they will alert the wildlife authorities who could handle it as we can’t on our own.  Similarly, worrying is a very serious problem, which we are unable to handle and suffer greatly. Who can we give our worries to? The answer is: to God.  Many questions arise. Can we do this? Will God accept them? What will God do with them?  The answer to the first question is that we can do so even though it is not the same. A  thing as tackling a problem, which we are supposed to do on our own. We can only seek God’s help in that, not entrust it to Him. Worrying is seriously dangerous when we don’t act but keep on getting obsessed by some problem, real or imagined.  The answer to the next question is: God will accept our worries if we are His devotees. God have promised such help in various holy books. Yes, we have to qualify for such a favour, which is not too difficult. God does not wish us to worry. He says that using the mind for worrying is being an enemy of the self. And the answer to the last question is simple: God is all-powerful; He can handle what no one can. If we cannot handle a problem, we have to give it to someone who can. Shouldn’t we do so if we wish to be freed from worries? But of course, you have to complete faith in the power of God and His willingness to save you from any kind of harm arising from a real or imaginary source. That is why we say: God bless you!
