What do we do with worries? Take your anxieties to the cross -- literally. Next time you’re worried about your health or house or finances or flights, take a mental trip up the hill. Spend a few moments looking again at the pieces of the passion.
Run your thumb over the tip of the spear. Balance a spike in the palm of your hand. Read the wooden sign written in your own language. And as you do, touch the velvet dirt, moist with the blood of God.
Blood He bled for you. The spear He took for you. The nails He felt for you. The sign He left for you.
He did all of this for you. Knowing this, knowing all He did for you there, don’t you think He’ll look out for you here?
-- Max Lucado, quoted in "His Passion: Christ's Journey to the Resurrection"
