Quote by Henry Ward Beecher
When we borrow trouble, and look forward into the future and see what storms are coming, and distress ourselves before they come, as to how we shall avert them if they ever do come, we lose our proper trustfulness in God. When we torment ourselves with imaginary dangers, or trials, or reverses, we have already parted with that perfect love which casteth out fear.
Summary
This quote suggests that when we constantly worry about and anticipate future problems and challenges, we lose the ability to trust in God. By excessively concerning ourselves with fake dangers, trials, and misfortunes, we lose the faith that would otherwise help us overcome fear. It reminds us of the importance of staying present and not allowing worries about the future to overshadow our ability to have faith in the unknown. By borrowing trouble, we sacrifice our trust in a higher power to guide and protect us.
