Quote by Hugh Blair
Worry not about the possible troubles of the future; for if they come, you are but anticipating and adding to their weight; and if they do not come, your worry is useless; and in either case it is weak and in vain, and a distrust of God's providence.
Summary
This quote advises against worrying about future troubles as it is counterproductive and serves no purpose. If the anticipated troubles do occur, worrying only amplifies their burden. On the other hand, if these troubles never materialize, the act of worrying becomes futile. In both scenarios, worrying demonstrates a lack of faith in God's providence and weakens one's ability to cope with difficulties. The quote encourages trust in God's plan and discourages wasting energy on fruitless worry.
