Are you ever anxious?

I admit, I often struggle with anxiety. I know the Lord tells me not to be anxious, however, the feelings come and I cave.

Anxiety is caused by fear. Sometimes I worry about my sons, my grandkids, my husband or my health. I worry about the future and the unknown. I am fearful about what I can’t control.

Guess what? I really can’t control anything except for how I respond to anxious thoughts. Do I dwell on them and pretend it’s up to me to save the universe? Do I curl up in bed and cover my head and retreat? Do I grasp for something to make me feel better temporarily?

The answer to overcoming the storm of anxiety rests on what we believe……really in Whom we believe! God assures us all throughout His Word that He loves us, plans for us, knows us intimately, and will never leave us. He is the only One that can really handle all these worries. He can calm the storm. He can calm us.

It’s not easy to turn everything over to Him…..but oh so worth it.

Praying for the anxious heart today💛
