When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul. (Psalm 94: 19)

Another translation reads, "When many anxious thoughts multiply within me, your consolations delight my soul."

I increasingly perceive worry to be my greatest enemy.

There are issues and people who deserve our care. We are called to make thoughtful and responsible choices.

But - especially if we have committed our choices to God - anxiety over choices made or yet to come is not helpful, neither is it faithful.

The Hebrew for consolation can also mean to regret, be sorry, suffer grief, repent, and be comforted.

It sounds like consolation might be a process. Make a faithful and thoughtful choice, engage the consequences, learn from the consequences, make another choice.

Don't worry.

Above is Delight by Sarah Vaeth.
