The Truth About Anxiety The years when you transition out of childhood and into adulthood can be a very overwhelming and anxious time. Many young women go into new experiences with high expectations and then find themselves feeling totally helpless when things don’t go the way they planned or don’t satisfy them like they thought they would. Anxiety is a very prevalent issue within our culture these days. The truth is that anxiety is the natural result of what happens when we put our trust in anything short of God’s plan for our life. When we put our trust in God’s plan, we will never have any reason to worry that things won’t go our way… because we have already decided beforehand that we want things to go his way! I can think back on so many times in my life when I wasted energy worrying myself to death over how something would work out only to find that God had a perfect plan all along. Chances are, you can probably relate! Romans 8:28 tells us that God works all things together for good for those who love the Lord. When we set our doubts and fears aside and truly believe that, that is when we can finally find the peace that surpasses all understanding! God provides peace to those who set their focus on him rather than on the world. I once heard a worship leader say it best when she said that “repentance” is really just another word for agreeing with God. My prayer is that you will repent from your worries and agree with God when he promises that he has everything under control! Challenge: Make a list of things in your life that you frequently find yourself worrying over. Pray and ask God to help you let go of those fears and trust his plan instead.
