Every evening I turn my worries over to God.
He's going to be up all night anyway.

Church Jargon Explained
Reverend
In Latin, means 'one worthy of being revered', though - presumably as fewer people know Latin these days - few people prostrate themselves at the feet of their local
reverend. Used by clergy as a title. The higher up you go, the more revered the clergy get, so a dean is a 'Very Reverend', a bishop a 'Right Reverend' and an archbishop 'the Most Reverend'.
Quite where Jesus would rank in this list isn't specified.
