Margret was a very poised woman. She had a good paying job, a wonderful family consisting of a loving husband with four children, and a house that supported her family comfortably. The only thing that Margret seemed unsure about was her schedule. She often asked co-workers what time it was, because she didn't want to miss something important that included her family. Other than that, Margret led the perfect life... Or so it seemed.
Margret, often called "Mags" by her husband, appeared to be in total control of her life. Working decent hours of the day, she was always there for her family for anything they needed. But under the thick cover of perfection and control, Margret's life was anything but coordinated. Worrying daily for her family, Margret's mental state was always in shambles due to the constant worrying that she did. Her family had no clue that Margret was under so much stress until her older son "Michale" announced we was going to enlist in the United States Army.
"Michale," Margret gasped, "Why son? There's so much danger involved in a career like that... Why couldn't you be something else?"
Soon, Margret's son deployed to Iraq, and Margret fell into a state of utter chaos and disorder. Worrying every night for her son's safety, Margret failed to realize that God was in control of her life and would keep things running according to his plan.
After a few months of falling backwards in her daily walk with Christ, Margret's husband suggested they have a family counseling hour using the bible as their backup to help Margret overcome her addiction to worrying.
Within a few weeks of praying and allowing God to re-take over her life and relieve her mind, Margret was her happy self again, only worrying about the time, and not everything that was minuscule and petty.
The Bible tells us that "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" and that we should put all our faith and trust in God, for he is the ultimate dealer of all things, and he knows the plan for our daily lives. Falling back on God for prayer and supplication is the best solution for any situation in life... all we need to do is try. Our father in Heaver is listening no matter what.

How true! Worry doesn't solve problems. With God and us working together He will led the way for all to be better in our lives. It is hard to see past the worry cause it is married to fear. Fear wants to make a home in our hearts. God's word definately gives strength to kill the fear. Thanks for sharing this is a great way to let us see how it really it is. *U* Rilda
