“Those who war against you shall be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing. For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you’” (Isa 41:12-13).

Concern is taking seriously our responsibility; worry is taking seriously God’s responsibility, a kind of mild atheism that acts as if we’re shut up to our resources—but He’s holding our hand!
