Anxiety is such an invasive thing and it has taken power over many of our lives, but what I love about God's word is that it doesn't dismiss the presence of anxiety, but shifts our focus to Him. The word of God acknowledges the realness of anxiety, but also reassures us that we can find peace and joy in God, especially in the midst of anxiety. There is a scripture in the Bible that says “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” – Psalm 94:19 and another that says “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter: 5:7. Both of these scriptures have played a monumental role in how I view anxiety now. Even though anxious thoughts will come, I serve a God who is waiting to embrace me with His joy, like a loving Father who cares for His children. I hope that you find peace in God's word and that you are able to take the power back.
