Spend some time in your group discussing that which has us worrying and upset. None of it needs worried about, regardless of the varying levels of required concern. Worry is always a frantic lie about what's effective in solving our problems.
As well as discussing what most stuck with the members of the group from Sunday morning, Here are some texts for discussion and reflection.
Matthew 6:22-34
1 Peter 5:7
Make sure and allow people with the least amount of worry in their life to share how they see life and where they learned it. Also allow people who seem to worry the most to share, and see if the group can find patterns. Be gentle, as worriers may worry all the more for being singled out as somehow defective in relation to the rest of the "more spiritual" members of the group. We all worry about something, so it's finding out who is most incapacitated by it generally.
