This reminds me of a story I once heard about a man who had a worry tree. He would get home and leave all his worries at the tree before entering the house. And when he left for the day of work he would take the worries off the tree, but somehow those worries were no longer the same as when he left them the night before. This passage reminds me of the very same thing he would do. I don't remember where I heard or saw that story, but I can see it in my mind and he said how his work was not brought into his home, because he would always leave it on the tree for the next day. It is amazing how many of us bring all of our worry and fears into our homes and allow it to ruin our nights and times, instead of leaving at the cross. For when we do decide to pick it back up, it will never be the same. I listened to a message just the other day about leaving our anxieties for Jesus and created a God box and initially putting them in the box and how we need to do that and if we want to take them out to worry about them again, how we need to physically take them back out. It was so good. This passage sums that all up in a paragraph. Thank you for sharing.
