The Cares Crash

The cares of life often tend to crash in on me with no warning. But, sometimes there is a warning. I'm trying to decide if I would rather know beforehand that something bad is going to happen or it be sprung upon me.

I get so anxious about the future because of known fears. When I know something uncomfortable or painful is going to happen, I live life fearing that thing. It's kind of exhausting. I wonder if not know is better.

But, then again, not knowing is hard because I wonder if


something will happen. When things are going so nicely,


I dread that something will suddenly crash into my life.


Maybe knowing is better.

In the end, though, I know God knows everything. I should not fear the knowns and the unknowns. He knows what is best for me to know (at least to a certain degree) before it happens and what is best for me to be clueless about.

So, I come to the conclusion that trusting in my Father is the best option.

And, so what if the cares crash? The Father cares for me and holds me safe in His bosom.
