You are mixing up worry and concern.

Concern is not irrational, not based in a fear that overpowers you and leads you into depression, self-pity, helplessness, overblows the severity of what’s really going on. that is worry.

being concerned about something is that there’s something that has your attention, could be a potential issue with some possible bad outcomes, and that you may take some steps to minimize the negative possibilities, but it doesn’t mean you think God’s not with you, not in control, can’t keep you or others safe, etc.

That’s the difference between concern and worry.

My husband was Polish, and I dearly loved his mother..she wore out more rosarys than most nuns...especially after 10 years of his going to a catholic school, the nuns kindly asked him and 2 of his buddy to leave..he then went to a trade school that worked on airplanes, that lasted a year. He was asked to leave. I met him his senior year in High school. My parents breathed a sigh of relief, he seem so nice....LOL

All of those rosaries seem to have helped, he turned out being a pretty good husband (most of the time :O)
