"And, as Jesus' teachings tell us, worry does not add one moment to our life, one measure to our life's journey. Worry is the opposite of faith. It is focused on particulars, built on notions, and has no room for the spectacular and that which is not yet known.....Faith takes us we know not where but the destination is unimportant, the process of being led and following faithfully is all. God will take us where we need to go and the 'big picture will emerge in time', a glimpse or reflection of the republic of heaven. Worry takes up energy and time so much more usefully spent on the fruits of discipleship, testimony to the grace of God acting in our lives now calling us to help others and to help create a just and peaceful world."
