We want to be right with God and right with our world.

When we see others make decisions that are not congruent with what we believe is right, it can knock us off balance. It can steal our Joy, dampen our faith, and even make us feel downright hopeless.

Tonight a news story caused some in our group to lose their joy, like air escaping from the neck of a balloon that is not tied off Fllagththhhthhthth. it speeds chaotically around the room making a strange lip-flapping sound.

We appear to do the same thing when bad news deflates us we go about chaotically blowing off steam. 
The sounds that escape our lips are a lot like that balloon, with so much hot air, Fllagththhhthhthth.

When we care deeply about something and we hear in the news or from a friend some information and it seems all wrong, rather than let a stream of pressurized air cross our lips making in-distinctive sounds.  We should realize that we can't do anything about it, we can't fix it, whatever it is.
I don't know if you think of an issue that you care about as a 'care' but Scripture tells us,
"Cast your cares on Him for He cares for you."
Tonight some in our group had to release their cares regarding this news story and be brought back to a place where God was returned in their mind to a place of hopeful resolution. 


Obviously, things in the news cause concern but we are supposed to take our concerns, to Jesus. 
He returns our Joy to us because He is faithful to handle our cares, we are free to release them into his hands.  

We responded to the news story by worshiping God, the God who exalts kings and deposes kings. And at the end of the day, I think people had regained their joy.
