In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I walk through one of the most practical, personal, and painful issues every caregiver faces: worry.
We explore what Jesus really meant in Matthew 6 when He said, “Do not worry about tomorrow…” — and I back the truck up to show how that entire section of Scripture ties together. This is not sentimental. It’s hard theology lived out in hospital rooms, operating rooms, and late-night caregiver prayers.
I share some deeply personal stories from our ongoing four-month hospitalization:
The moment when my wife’s surgical wound burst open unexpectedly — and how, even then, worship replaced panic as Gracie sang “In My Leg, Lord, Be Glorified” while medical teams worked.
How my dad, near the end of his life, calmed my mother with four powerful words: “Because I know God.”
The late-night “Code Gray” in the hospital — and how that inspired my idea of a “Code Grace” for caregivers who are emotionally unraveling.
Why daily trust in God is like Tchaikovsky’s daily piano practice: if you skip it, everyone notices.
We also look at Paul and Silas — bruised, bleeding, shackled — still singing hymns in a Philippian jail. That same peace that passes understanding remains available to us today, even in hospital rooms, financial stress, and medical crises.
Worry is real. But so is the sovereignty of God.
I challenge caregivers (and myself) to make the intentional choice to trust Christ today — and to leave tomorrow where it belongs: in His capable hands.
If you're a caregiver weighed down by fear, this episode is for you.
