Is 'don't worry, God's in charge' really enough?

“Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.” Some phrases trip off the tongue very easily, yet so often fail to deliver the reassurance we intend.

“Don’t worry, God’s in charge” is a closely related Christian alternative. God is, of course, in charge. But how often those words fail to speak to anxious ears.

In the face of an impending redundancy, or a child with a life-threatening illness, or a relationship crisis, “don’t worry, God’s in charge” somehow isn’t enough.
