Summary

Fear. Worry. Pain: They can feel all-consuming. Author and speaker Amberley Neese believes that in the questions Jesus asks in the Gospels, there are answers big enough for all three.

The God of heaven and earth cares about what you care about. The God who made heavens and earth, the God who made the stars; that same God cares about all those things. I think worry happens, worry creeps in, when we take our eyes off of Jesus. I know that’s like the Sunday School answer, but guess what? It’s the Sunday School answer for a reason. -- Amberly Neese
