"Come to me, all you who labor and are overburdened,
and I will give you rest, Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls"
(Matthew 11:28)
ARE YOU ANXIOUS TODAY?
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
(Psalm 56:3)
Anxiety can be like a big wave that washes over you and stops you dead in your tracks. It can paralyze you and take away everything good in your life.
If you let it take control, you'll do nothing, say nothing, and end up feeling like nothing. When you think about it, worry is silly! (And dangerous).
It means you're not trusting God to carry out the promises, and it's important to take them seriously; but He has commanded you to trust Him (Proverbs 3:5).
Paul says...
"The Lord is near,
Never worry about anything;
but tell God all your desires
of every kind in prayer and
petition shot through with
gratitude, and the peace of
God which is beyond our
understanding will guard your
hearts and your thoughts
in Christ Jesus..."
(Philippians 4:5-7)
You are special in the eyes of the Lord. Let that sink in! He loves you and cherishes you.
What are you afraid of?
Don't you know your Father is with you? Every step you take He accompanies you! If you stumble, He'll catch you. If you fall, He'll lift you up. If you walk with Him, He guarantees that you'll reach your destination.
