No worry, no anxiety, does not mean no effort.

She brings her husband good, not harm.
She is clothed with strength and dignity.
She can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not stay idle.
-Proverbs 31
 
 
"Never doubt, never worry,
but step by step the way to freedom must be trodden.
See that you walk it with Me."
-God Calling
 
No worry, no anxiety,
does not mean no effort.
When my disciples told Me that they had toiled all night
and taken in nothing,
I did not fill the boat with fishes without effort on their part.
No!
My command stood.
Launch out into the deep,
and let your nets down for a catch.
Their lives were endangered.
Their ship nearly sand,
the help of their fellows had to be summoned,
and there were broken nets to mend.
Any one of these troubles might have made them feel
My help was not for them.
And yet as they sat offshore and mended those nets,
they would see My love and care.
How often, when sometimes you little know it,
do I go before you to prepare the way,
to soften a heart here,
to overrule there.
-God Calling
