Audacity to believe (2)

"Worry can rob you of happiness, but kind words will cheer you up."

(Proverbs 12.25 GNB)

I find it impossible not to worry at all. I worry less and less as I grow in faith more and more, but I am not free of it.

I worry that things I cannot control may go wrong. But faith gives hope and confidence in things I do not know nor do not control. Faith leads to inner peace and less worrying.

However in my experience, to gain more faith, God would lead me through a path that caused me a lot of worries. And only when I got out of that difficult path would my faith increase, because my hope and confidence in God were proven not in vain.
