We are in the midst of a sermon series at our church worship services weekly. It is the book of ! Peter which is five chapters. We don't take a whole chapter every week.

I decided to read that chapter and am a bit ahead of our worship verses. Today's Karen's Korner is a bit familiar but the words ring true in our daily lives. We need to be reminded:

"Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you."

~ I Peter 5:7 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Carrying your worries, stress, and daily struggles by yourself shows that you haven't trusted God fully with your life. It takes humility, however, to recognize that God cares, to admit your need, and to let others in His family help you. Sometimes we think that struggles caused by our own sin and foolishness are not God's problem. But when we turn to Him in repentance, He will bear the weight even of those struggles. Letting God have your worries is active, not passive. Don't submit to circumstances, but to the Lord who controls those circumstances."
