People who worry a lot have their eyes focused on the consequences of events that had not yet happened. They feel vulnerable, so they expect the worst. If they would turn to God, they could find in HIS character the answer to their vulnerability. The Bible tells us
that God is in charge. Nothing happens in this world that is beyond the knowledge and control of God.

He is sovereign Lord of all. Worriers feel that things are out of control – that something terrible is about to happen and they can’t stop it. when the questions raised by those feelings create anxiety, worried need to remember these important facts about the God who is in charge:
