Summary
"Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer." ― Padre Pio
Parents worry about many things - finances, children's health and education, extended family, grandparents… and then there is the state of the world and the economy! How do Christian parents handle all the things that COULD go wrong? The answer is that this world is not our home and God is in control. God allows difficulties to come our way not for us to worry or be anxious, but for us to turn to Him in prayer and rely on His grace for our lives. This is a throwback podcast - way back to #51! Listen in and join the conversation.
