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

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

“Don't worry. Worry is useless. I worried anyway”

“If you pray about it don't worry about it. If you're going to worry about it don't pray about it.”

“..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 not about the possible troubles of the future; for if they come, you are but anticipating and adding to their weight; and if they do not come, your worry is useless; and in either case it is weak and in vain, and distrust of God's providence.”
