Unchecked worry and anxiety can leave us in a debilitated state. It can drive us into isolation, rob us of our passion, cause us to miss out on making precious memories and moments of ministry.
Would Jesus give us a command that it is not possible for us to follow? Of course not, He is good.
God is good and He sees us, values us, and cares about our needs. We try to take control when we don't believe He is good.


"Worry does not stop death. It stops life. Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles. It takes away today’s peace."
God knows what you need and has access to an endless supply.

Humbling yourself is surrendering control and acknowledging God’s superiority.

Part of the problem with anxiety and worry is that it happens at the neurological level. Pathways are formed. The problem is not all of the pathways are good and, furthermore, once they have been used a couple of times, they become paved.
