Why God's Sovereignty Is the Real Antidote to Worry

God's sovereignty is a truth that can bring comfort and peace in times of anxiety and stress, but it's often misunderstood as a cop-out for human responsibility.

This understanding can transform our prayer life and give us rock-solid assurance that God is working all things together for good. [... more]
