Worry is best handled by prayer. Prayer is like a vacuum running over the crumbs of worry. Sometimes, after my kids vacuum, you can’t tell they’ve done it. Most of the crumbs are still there. I call them back and remind them that they’re not done until the crumbs are gone. It’s the same with us, our prayers, and our worries. Prayer removes worry because it aligns our heart and mind with God’s will for us. Noticing a worry means noticing a thing to pray about. A worry should not be a prompt to fret, but a prompt to pray.
