5th grader wisdom!!!

I heard on the radio recently that a group of 5th graders were asked to share ONE THING they've learned about God. One boy summed it up by saying that God just tells him,
"Dude, I've got this!"
Annnnnnd I thought, what at GREAT thing to have learned about God!!! He's got it all taken care of and everything is under control! Your job? He's got it! Your children? He's got it! Your home?  He's got it! Your finances? He's got it! How you gonna pay the bills? He's got it! Your relationships? He's got it! Lost loved ones? He's got it! Who you gonna marry? He's got it!!!
.
Not that I'm saying we don't need to be doing anything for ourselves!!! Of course we need to do as much as we humanly, possibley can, without breaking any laws of God, buuuuuuuuut at a certain point, its out of your control. You've done everything you possibly can annnnnd NOW you've gotta let God do the rest!!!
.
We worry, worry, worry, how is it going happen? We examine! We analyze! We critique the situation! When will it happen? What IF this happens? What IF that happens? What if I lose my job? What if I can't find a job?  What if I don't pass my tests to graduate?  WHAT IF THERE REALLY ISN'T ANYONE FOR ME??? Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!
.
Annnnnnnd I imagine in my mind God just shaking his head saying,
"Dude, I've got this!"
Whatever it is your needing, stop worrying, God's got it!!!
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5)
