19 - Pray Hope and Dont Worry

0:00

Ponder this. Are you a worrier? Being preoccupied with worry is a normal state in life for many. But should it be this way? One fact of the matter is, worrying never produces positive results. Have you ever heard anyone say that they wish they had worried more, or if only they had worried more, things would have turned out much better? We never hear this, because worrying is never helpful.

When we worry, we place a burden on ourselves that we alone must carry. Typically, our worried thoughts preoccupy us with the worst possible outcomes. Here is simple advice from St. Padre Pio: pray, hope, and don't worry.

Pray, talk to the Lord and ask for His help in your life. Hope, have complete confidence that the Lord will answer your prayers in accordance with His will for you. Don't worry. Trust that the Lord loves you so much that He will carry your heavy load and provide for your every need.
