A Hebraic Approach to Worry

There are two situations that should never cause us to worry. First, there are those situations that can be fixed. If something can be fixed, then fix it so there is no need to worry. Second, there are those situations that can't be fixed. If something can't be fixed, what is there to worry about? If it can't be fixed, then worry won't help the matter and is self destructive. It can lead to physical sickness and depression. Remember, a definition of worry is, "When you think you have remembered something that G-d has forgotten." This is a Hebraic approach to worry based on the teaching of the rabbis.

  1. How true this is. Just at the time when we need to depend upon Him more we leave Him and prop ourselves up.
