• An interesting statistic about the things we worry about (From
  Pastor Michaels of Church In the City and I have no other source to actually back
  this up but even still its interesting.)

  40% of the things we worry about never happen
  30% of the things we worry about we have no control over the
  outcome
  22% of the things we worry about are mostly considered
  “little” things in life

  Therefore, 92% of the things we worry about really are of no
  consequence.  So why do we worry so much? 
  Is it possible to do what Paul says in Philippians and lift the remaining 8% up to
  God?  Or are we at a point where we just
  need to worry and leave God out of it?

  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything,
  by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And
  the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts
  and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
