Christmas List?

Have you ever noticed that a natural default setting for our minds is “wake up and worry?”

Lately, I have the feeling that I’m building a Jenga tower, cautiously setting one block on top of another, and if I look away, it’s all going to come crashing down. Of course, this is the opposite of how God wants me to live, so why is it my natural default?
