Abandoning Anxiety

Published: Nov. 27, 2020, 8 a.m.

A friend recently reminded me of this statement: Anxiety is picturing your world without God in it. Well, maybe you’ve never had God in your world, but you’ve had other things in your life that seemed to fill that void – things you counted on. But this world is changing constantly and can often be so uncertain. Does your life feel like it’s unsteady today? Is anxiety sneaking into your world? I pray today that God will speak to your heart in a powerful way. Some of the most famous lines from the Bible are found in John 3, verse 16 and 17: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.” If you need that rescue operation, you can turn to God right now and make a decision for Jesus through prayer. Ask him to forgive you for the garbage in your life and to give you rest. He’s right there for you to give you a new start – to replace your anxiety with peace. All you need to do is talk to God about it. He is just waiting to hear from you. This is Andrew Palau.
