I Have Questions - AnxietyEgzanp

Imagine carrying your book bag to school every day, only instead of it being full of textbooks, binders, and notebooks, it’s full of the things you worry about, get anxious about, or fear the most. 

It could be upcoming tryouts, a big test, or a college application. Maybe someone in your family is sick, or your parents have been arguing a ton lately. 

Just like our books in a book bag, we carry this stuff with us every day. We’re burdened, worried, and exhausted, and over time, it can really weigh us down. 

But here’s one of the amazing thing about God: He doesn’t want you to carry those burdens alone. In fact, He doesn’t want you to carry them at all! Why? Because He cares for you. 

God is not some distant being out in the middle of nowhere. No, God is personal. He knows you and is concerned with the intricate details of your life. Whatever it is you’re anxious about, He wants you to give it to Him. He wants you to cast it on Him—to throw it His way because He can handle it. 

Today, write down all the things that you’re burdened byand read them out loud to God. As you do, picture taking them out of your bag, throwing them His way, and trusting Him with it all.
