“Worry is a prayer to chaos”

“Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.”

“Pray, Hope and Don't Worry, worry is useless God is Merciful and will hear your prayers.”

“..when someone says "please pray for me," they are not just saying "let's have lunch sometime." They are issuing an invitation into the depths of their lives and their humanity- and often with some urgency. And worry is not a substitute for prayer. Worry is a starting place, but not a staying place. Worry invites me into prayer. As a staying place, worry can be self-indulgent, paralyzing, draining, and controlling. When I take worry into prayer, it doesn't disappear, but it becomes smaller.”

“Worry is the facade of taking action when prayer really is.”

“She inhaled a worry. She exhaled a prayer." Mary Lou Quinlan, author”
