"Are you pregnant with worry?"

When my wife was pregnant with our first child, I did a funeral service for a baby who went full-term, but was still-born. Everything seemed normal enough until the child was born.

Well, you can imagine how I felt—“What could be wrong with our child that we didn’t know about? Would she be still-born, too?” I worried…a lot. It stayed on my mind, following me everywhere I went and in everything I did.

Finally one day, exhausted with worrying and my wife tired of me asking, “Are you okay?,” I decided that my worrying was doing none of us any good. In fact, it was hurting me. I was giving away the joy of our first pregnancy, my passionate productivity at work, and my happiness in life. And for what? I had no control whatsoever over my wife’s pregnancy, but I knew who did—God was in control. So I prayed, asking God to take away my worry; giving God control over what I couldn’t.

Don’t be pregnant with worry. Listen to life today and give control to God.
