God cares about more than our biggest worries. He cares about the smallest worries that weigh on our hearts. If not one hair on our head goes unnumbered (Matthew 10:30), if not one tear on our face goes unseen (Psalm 56:8), and if not one cry from our mouth goes unheard (Psalm 6:8), then not one of our worries will go unnoticed by God. ⠀ ⠀

‘It is not simply great matters we are to bring before God, not simply small things but “everything,”’ George Müller writes. ‘Therefore, all our affairs, temporal or spiritual, let us bring them before God. And this for the simple reason that life is made up of little things.’⠀

⠀

For the most anxious Christians, worry does not grow quiet when outward circumstances do. Even when all around is calm — our families healthy, our jobs secure, our friendships steady — worry can work with the smallest of burdens. So we must take even those, trifles though they seem, and roll them onto our Father’s shoulders. As Müller writes, ‘When we have any little burdens we must tell our heavenly Father, “I have no strength for this weight, I cannot carry the burden.”’ And then remember: ‘Our heavenly Father is ready to do this for us.’ ⠀

Over time, rolling every burden onto God can become as reflexive as a frightened child reaching for his father.” ⠀-Scott Hubbard
