This is not an easy thing to do. We seem to be naturally prone to worry. Jesus said that God knows what His children need. He even notices when a little sparrow falls to the ground and dies and we are of much greater value than many sparrows. I think it actually gets easier to not worry as time passes. When I look back at my life I can see that things that worried me, actually turned out for my good. In fact life has steadily improved. Each thing I worried about has turned out for the best. So now if I worry I remind myself that God is my Father and I can trust Him to sort out my life for the best, His best.So do not worry but put your trust in Jesus. This life is the preparation for the next when we will be with Jesus and see how our lives have been ordered for the best.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
