“Both worry and stress reek of arrogance.”

“Worry implies that we don't quite trust God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what's happening in our lives. Stress says the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace towards others, or our tight grip of control.Basically, these two behaviors communicate that it's okay to sin and not trust God because the stuff in my life is somehow exceptional. Both worry and stress reek of arrogance. They declare our tendency to forget that we've been forgiven, that our lives are brief ... and that in the context of God's strength, our problems are small, indeed.”

“Worrying is arrogant because God knows what He's doing.”

“In the end, I worry that my arrogance shall destroy us all.”

“Each moment of worry, anxiety or stress represents lack of faith in miracles, for they never cease.”

“Are stress and worry evidence of a soul too lazy, too undisciplined, to keep gaze fixed on God?”
