Fool Proof Ways to Conquer Anxiety

 

 

Oh, anxiety…

I know this may come as a shock to some of you, but I really don’t have it all together.

Ha! I can just hear some of you laughing. My friends and family know better. I am a perpetual worrier. Anxiety and I are longtime friends. Fear of the unknown or what might be is like a blow to the gut. It paralyzes me at times.

I know many of you suffer from anxiety as well. Maybe you worry about money, children, relationships, health, or aging parents. Or maybe you worry about being left out or left behind. I know I do. That’s why I’m writing to you about one fool proof way to conquer anxiety.

Where do you turn when anxiety threatens to overwhelm you? I have wonderful friends and family who are always encouraging, but ultimately my greatest comfort is found in that big book of sixty-six books. You know the one… I can’t help but have a few favorites, and Psalms is one of them. It is a book written in praise and thanksgiving but also in despair and worry. Basically it’s a book that includes a little of everything. It’s real, and it’s real life, displayed for all to see.

One thing is always clear in Psalms – God is there. When life is joyful and abundant or disappointing and anxiety ridden, He is there.

The Psalms fill us with God’s promises…

His love…

His truth…

Know that the God of Psalms is alive and active today and cares for you. He longs to sustain you and bring you peace. Hold fast to Him.
