    Thanks for the encouragement Jack. I just read Psalm 91 and was uplifed! It fits very well with this article and the topic of worry.

    Josh, I have difficulty in worrying & I should run to the Word of God for in it, the only fear that is good is the fear of the Lord (actually fear is reverence & deep respect). Pslam 128 contains much about this fearful reverence for God. What my fear actually is, is a lack of trust & faith in His ability. Have you ever read Psalm 91? This is one that should cause our fear to evaporate forever. Listen to those calamities & sense the peace over those fears for the writer. Your article made me think of this. Nice work here friend. : - )
