“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?~ Mathew 6:25-27
I struggle with anxiety. Some days it takes my breath away. All the pressures and demands seem to snowball and I am left feeling like I'm grasping for air. The one thing I have learned over the many years of dealing with this "illness" is to take it to the Lord.
I reach out to Him honestly and tell Him what I am feeling and then I go to His word. His word tells me not to worry. Everything I have need of will be met by Him. He will show me how to complete paperwork or send someone to help me walk through it. He will help me to support my children in the way the He knows is best.
He will give me time to pause in my day to take a breath and remember that He is Lord; He is Sovereign and that He is present with me. I can meditate on His word and feel His calming presence. He will walk with me through the shadows and bring me to the clear light.
Lord I thank You for allowing me to be transparent and open with You because You know all. Thank You for prayer that gives me access to Your throne because of Jesus. Thank You for giving me what I need to deal with anxiety when it gets to be too much. Thank You for the blessing and provision of You. In Jesus name. Amen
Amen and Amen 🙏 I pray that God grants you what you need to continue to persevere over anxiety. I also hope that this blesses someone else who is dealing with the same illness. God is a Healer!
