Trust in the Lord, and do good; so you will live in the land, and enjoy security. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will make your vindication shine like the light, and the justice of your cause like the noonday. Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him; do not fret over those who prosper in their way, over those who carry out evil devices. Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fret - it leads only to evil. (Psalm 37: 3-9)

Worry emerges from a lack of faith. May God forgive - and heal - my lack of faith.

The Hebrew translated in the 37th Psalm as fret is charah which can also be translated as anger. Charah is closely related to the Hebrew that means to be burned. Do not worry to the point of burning. Do not worry to the point of causing yourself and others pain.

To avoid worry do good, take delight, listen carefully, be patient, avoid envy, do not become angry, abstain from angry action.

To avoid worry we are instructed to trust and commit ourselves to the One Who Exists. The Hebrew for trust also means to be bold - even to be careless. The Hebrew for commit is literally to "roll together."

Don't worry. Avoid anger. Instead be bold in choosing a creative path. Thoroughly commit yourself to that path.

Let's Roll.
