IS FAITH REALLY "SEEING WHAT HAPPENS"?

Chrisitian religions speak about faith and living in faith. That seems like you are supposed to not worry about the future and instead be confident and then see what happens in our lives. So, instead of stressing ourselves by worrying and by predicting the future, we are invited to be open to what happens and what is possibile every day.

It is interesting that other religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism seem to say similar things. Also, research supports that choosing to see what happens and not allowing ourselves to worry is one of the best ways to lower our stress level. What does it mean that  this way of lowering stress is recognized by so many different religions and different types of therapies? This would seem to support the validity of this coping strategy. 

So, if choosing not to worry is recognized as very effective, how come so many of us are still worrying every day. Many people who come to me for help tell me that they feel they must be prepared, yet they can't tell me what they need to be prepared for except anticipating bad things happening. This being prepared is very frequently associated with being worried a lot. This being prepared and worrying seems to be connected to being afraid about the future and therefore this preparation and worrying is can be their brain's way of knowing what will happen in their future...they will worry.

Kind of sad to worry as a way of knowing what our future will hold, especially when we don't need to worry about that at all and instead we could chose to see what happens. It may be like the saying "let go, let God." [worry about the future]?
