Love God Greatly: Fear & Anxietyنموونە

When we live in seasons of anxiety, we sometimes find ourselves focusing on only the negative aspects of our lives. Our minds become cluttered with unwanted thoughts. We do not have to stay in a spiral of despair. God gives us the ability to overcome our negative thoughts and change them into truth.

God has given us a spirit of power, love, and self-control (2Tm 1:7). Using the power within us, we must set our minds on who we are as God’s children. When we turn our thoughts from fear and dwell on the truth, of who Jesus is and what He is doing, our faith can move mountains.

Let’s continue to seek the things of God even in seasons of fear. We need to dwell on what is true, right, noble, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. We can train ourselves to dwell on these things through prayer, time in God’s Word, and fellowship with fellow believers. 

Father God, thank You that through Your Son, You have called me to a life of peace. Lord, help me find peace in You. I praise You for giving me a mind that can focus on You. Give me the heart that seeks You above all else. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
