Hi ,
If you are anxious about any situation, have you taken time to learn about God's view on the matter? Anxiety once tormented me, but not anymore. See, I discovered that most of my anxiety came from the way I thought about the situation - not the situation itself.
Dealing with anxiety meant dealing with my thoughts. I learned that the only way to change my thoughts was to replace them with better ones. And there are no better thoughts than God's thoughts!
You've probably heard the saying, "The truth will set you free." But what is truth? If your thinking is ruled by the world's viewpoint or your past programming, it is likely distorted. But truth is defined in John 8:31-32: "Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
So you cannot know the truth about a matter unless you know what God says about it through his WORD.
I've received a lot of emails lately from people who are anxious about what is happening in the world - terrorist attacks, massive unemployment, health challenges, relationship conflicts. And yet, God's word can keep His people secure through it all.
So every day for the next 30 days, I will post a new scripture devotion about how to deal with anxiety. You can access the Day 1 devotion here:
