Worry


Look to me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.
D&C 6:36

Gary Carter wrote the following about worry:

"What are we really saying when we worry? We are saying:

Maybe Heavenly Father doesn’t care, after all.
Maybe Heavenly Father isn’t good, after all.
Maybe Heavenly Father’s promises aren’t true, after all.
Maybe Heavenly Father isn’t in control, after all.
Maybe Heavenly Father isn’t sovereign, after all.
Maybe Heavenly Father doesn’t work all things for good for those who love Him, after all.
Maybe Heavenly Father isn’t all wise in the trials He sends us, after all.
Maybe Heavenly Father isn’t a faithful Father, after all.

What terrible things to say! Let us think about what we are really saying when we worry."
