There is no end of
things to make us worry.
Two men in a forest
chopping wood;
the head flies off
one axe;
the other man dies.
But, Jesus, you said
worrying is a waste
of time.
All we have to do is
trust in God--
one who seeks God
will not be forsaken,
for the prayer of the
righteous is powerful
and effective. And lest we worry
over our sins, teach
us to
confess them and
pray for one
another.

And those who know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
Deut. 19:5
Suppose someone goes into the forest with another to cut
wood, and when one of them swings the ax to cut down a tree, the head slips
from the handle and strikes the other person who then dies; the killer may flee
to one of these cities and live.

Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one
another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and
effective.

"…And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to
your span of life? If then you are not able to do so small a thing as
that, why do you worry about the rest? …" [Jesus to his disciples]
