    If your going to worry don't pray ? I'd say, keep praying as long as
    your worried.

    "Quoting" from memory (with some revision for clarity) from Phil. 4:6-7
    
    "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication
    with thansgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  And the
    peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts
    and minds through Christ Jesus"
    
    Of course, if you are finding worry, it is the time to turn to the
    Lord.  "Lord I believe; help thou my unbelief."
    
    Anxiety and trusting prayer are indeed mutually exclusive alternatives.
    
    Mark L.
