Jesus came and said Do Not Worry About tomorow
When you communicate with the Master He Leads you........consider the fact when Jesus needed money to pay His Tax He got gold from a fishes mouth, rise-ing above the system and showing us we could find a way if we Hang with Him, not worry-ing not breaking the law........The Creator will teach us to be creative and surf the wave ..........Christians know this and do this if they are all prayed up.........when you lean on you own understandig you miss the fish with a gold coin in his mouth.........and if you do not believe Him you will not believe me.........so go to your room and call your Helper and see who comes.

Not to sound rude, but the thought of not using your own understanding is pretty weak considering that god created us with understanding. It doesn't seem very conducive to anything to not use your understanding. That's really a slap in the face of wisdom... Again, I don't mean for this to sound rude...

I don't want to sound rude either, but we (Christians) don't omit careful thinking or belittle our God given ability to reason, we we trust God completely in every choice we make, He is a better judge of what we want than we are.

Ok.... that all sounds pretty alien to me, but I'll roll with it so long as it floats your boat and I don't have to be involved...

Wisdom is something we seek as Christians..........We are all a little different......as for my self ....people speak of the supernatural but I feel my relationship with Him is natural. Still there are many things I do not know , I say I am agnostic on the meaning of some things , I do not know everything. But I have known things I was not taught, by seeking His Wisdom. And this is the meaning of not leaning ( not giving stubborn insistence to), not insisting on acceptance of your own understanding.........the Bible is a special book..........but you can not casually read it and understand it .....if you read it and try to understand it according to your understanding you will miss it and you will think it is foolishness

Philippians 4:6 "Don't worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done".
Want to worry less, then pray more.

I don't think you quite understand what the term agnostic means. If you believe in a god, you are not agnostic.

As I have said many times, the only miracle in religion is that they can get anyone to believe this stuff.

Some people need the comfort they get from believing that no matter what happens, it's all a "plan" and that some greater force is driving them. They can't live with the fact that life is what WE make of it. Then there's the rest of us, who do believe that life is what we make of it and that we are the authors of our own destinies, and that if something goes wrong it's up to us to fix it, not some invisible all-powerful deity.
