What you and I might rate as an absolute disaster, God may rate as a pimple-level problem that will pass. He views your life the way you view a movie after you've read the book. When something bad happens, you feel the air sucked out of the theater. Everyone else gasps at the crisis on the screen. Not you. Why? You've read the book.

Worry tests your trust, so hand your children to God and let Him babysit your babies when you're not around. He's pretty good at it!
