In a Three Stooges short, Moe asked Curly if he had locked the door. Curly said he did, twice. Once one way, and once the other way.

Take any moderate to severe problem, like a job interview. Hopefully, the first thing you do is pray and ask for God’s guidance and wisdom. That is a great place to start, and it would be even better if we would leave it at God’s feet. However, we often pick the problem up again and commence worrying more.<\/p>\n

Maybe we think God needs a little help with this particular problem, or He isn’t moving as fast or in the way we think He should. Maybe He tells us something we don’t want to hear. No matter the reason we mess with the problem again, we need to put it down. 1 Peter 5:6-9 talks about depending on God. Verse 7 says to cast all your cares on Him.
