Are you anxious about your future…your past…or today? Anxiety or worry, as we most often call it, is a real part of life! The real question is this: How do I deal with it without allowing it to become a destructive force in my life?
Well I don’t know anyone who pretends to have all the answers to that question. But here are some suggestions for consideration.
1) Admit it! If you are experiencing anxiety don’t deny it. Admit it. The beginning to dealing with anxiety is to acknowledge that the problem exists.
2) Acknowledge you don’t have to give in to it. While anxiety is a real problem, it is equally true that it can be successfully addressed.
3) Remember that Christ will help you. Jesus said in Matthew 6 that His followers were not to be anxious. Rather they were to trust Him and all the things they normally worry about would be taken care of.
The apostle Peter said we were to give Christ all our cares because He cares for us.
May I encourage you? The sovereign God cares for you and me…and He is able to do all He has said He will do. He also cares enough to do what He said He will do. So we can trust Jesus to take care of us.
