“Naomi’s
problem is like the struggle many of us experience. In the dark night of our
souls, we imagine and worry about the worst possible scenario. In fact, we
often conjure up contradictory worst case scenarios to worry about, events that
cannot all happen to us. We persuade ourselves that God has abandoned us and
that we have no prospects. How much unnecessary turmoil do we put ourselves through! God doesn't promise to give us the grace to survive all the scenarios we can
dream up—but only to give us the grace to enable us to make it through whatever
He actually brings into our lives. In fact, much of what we worry about turns
out in the end not to be part of God’s plan for us after all; our worry was
wasted work!” –p. 156
