anx·i·e·ty
aNGˈzīədē/
noun
- a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.
I struggle with anxiety quite often, and it's no fun. But I'm learning to deal with it and to pray through it!! One of my go to passages in the Bible is Philippians 4:4-7. ""Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Did you hear that?!! The Lord is NEAR!! Pray through the anxiety. God has it completely under control!! Psalm 34:4 says "I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears." He is there!! Seek him during your most anxious moments, but don't make it just then when you seek him! Seek him always! He is greater than anyone and anything, right? So surely he can bring you to peace from your anxiety. Proverbs 12:25 says "Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up." It doesn't get much more blunt than that. So what I'm trying to get at here is to let go of that anxiety and cast all that anxiousness and fear on Jesus! For he is a mighty conqueror, and what seems like a mountain to you is so so small to Him! He is so good :)
Much Love,
