Be able to articulate what you believe and why you believe it. Follow Jesus publicly and privately. To follow Jesus is to share in his suffering. God uses suffering to bring righteousness to the unrighteous. True understanding of suffering with Jesus shifts us from “I have to” to “I get to." Be obedient even when it isn’t noticed, celebrated, or appreciated. When you are suffering, take joy in connection with Jesus.

What matters to us is not personal preference but participation in the mission. Seek to understand and offer whatever help you can. Siblings don’t always agree but they always have each other’s back. Don’t be harsh with one another. Blessing is sweeter than payback. Division within a family is never beneficial.

You said “I do”, now what? Wives are told to willingly choose to lovingly accept their husband’s leadership within their marriage so as to point him to Christ. Husbands are told to willingly choose to honor and lovingly sacrifice for their wife so as to point her to Christ. Sacrifice & submission are both calls to selflessly love your spouse! Sacrifice & submission are both calls to be like Jesus!

What does it mean to do something with all your heart? Where we feel anxiety the most are probably the places we trust God the least. Everything that happens in our life is under God’s sovereignty. What happens when God’s sovereignty and our anxieties meet? Anxiety cannot thrive in a life humbly surrendered to Jesus. Do not be overly concerned with this world, be consumed by the Kingdom. Humbly surrender every aspect of your life through obedience to the Spirit. Trust the God of the universe to keep his promises to you. When our hearts are in the right place, it puts anxiety in its place.

Running from and ignoring anxiety won’t make it go away. Worry and prayer are at odds with one another.

Prayer takes control away from your anxiety, away from you, and gives it to God. God's peace is the defense against anxiety in your life. Anxiety is being out of sync with God. I don't control everything, but I know the one who does.

You cannot reach people with the Gospel if you don’t understand who they are and what struggles they face. We were created to live in community, commanded to put ourselves second, and called to live in awe of our Savior. How do we lead those younger than us to live a live that honors God in the digital world?

When we are curators of our comfort, our boundaries will be the beginning of our anxieties. Anxiety will cause spiritual growth if we handle it the right way. Your level of trust in God is a result of your proximity to him. I don’t control everything but I know the one who does. What is the source of your anxiety?

What is your trust level with God?

What gives you anxiety? Anxiety shows up when we are unaware of God’s presence. Anxiety creeps in when our view of God is too small. The Son of Man, the stairway between heaven and earth lives in you. Our relationship with Jesus should have a profound impact on our anxieties. Surely, the Lord is in this place and we are aware of him.
