What Quenches Worry?

I don't live my life worrying very much. I really never have. I've never been overly concerned that finances wouldn't work out (not because of me, but because of a great resource of people around me). I've never been concerned that I couldn't find a job. I've never been concerned that I wouldn't overcome a sickness, or that an injury would debilitate me. I've never had many of these worries, but my worry has usually been quenched for the wrong reasons.

People around me have helped me not too worry. Stewardship has helped me not to worry. Doctors, medicine, a physically fit body, a wife, parents, mentors have all helped me not to worry. Friends have helped me not to worry.

What I don't think, however, is that any of these things are supposed to be what would quench my worry.

Only faith should do that. Stewardship wasn't designed to prevent worry, faith was. Trust in God is far more important than placing my trust in any of the good things listed above.

I had this thought thinking of money the other day. Specifically, that money and my ability to create it should never be an issue to avoid worry. Faith is what sustains me, not money.

I'm still trying to figure out what that looks like in my life, but I'm trying. Trying to organize and live in a way that it is obvious faith runs me, not these other things.
