Why Worry About Problems | Rev. Larry Trotter

Worry is chronic low-grade stress. It comes from being unclear about our purpose and therefore constantly insecure about how to live life. Because we are unclear about our purpose we typically try to avoid pain and so we end up worrying a great deal about the possibility of pain and struggle. However, without pain we can’t grow. When we learn from Jesus the purpose of life (to love God and neighbor) our worry goes away. We also become resilient in the face of pain because we expect it and we recognize it as an invitation to mature spiritually and emotionally.
