ISAIAH XXX 15
“Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.”
I PETER V 7
“A great many people imagine that the pressure of burden and care is wholesome; to take life hard is considered praiseworthy. It is looked upon as a kind of self-indulgence to take life easy. Now there is no doubt that a spirit of intensity and care, up to a certain point, is required for a wholesome condition of mind. But a care that brings burdens, that takes away light, that deprives us of happiness, has passed beyond the wholesome line. Now if this spirit of care did any good or led to any desirable result, there would be some justifying reason for it. But instead of that it does harm; it is not only useless, it is mischievous. There are two atmospheres in which you may work, the atmosphere of trust and the atmosphere of worry. The atmosphere of trust is a religious atmosphere, and the atmosphere of worry is a worldly atmosphere.”
