Anxiety StrikesSýnishorn

Day 8: Surrender

In this devotional we have truly saved the best for last. If you remember nothing else, remember this:

Complete surrender to God disarms anxiety.

Using our fight example, this would mean taking away the opponent's ability to hurt us at all. Like fighting a harmless fly.

One Bible verse to cling to is Jeremiah 29:11. It may sound cliché, but God shows us that anxiety thrives off the intense desire to be in control. The more we try to control our surroundings, people and even ourselves, the more God shows us that He is the author of all things. Our lives and steps were already known long before we tried to dictate any of it. How beautiful to truly let go of all things, and trust that our God already had it all in His hands. Remember Peter walking on the water. If we look down and try to control the situation we start to drown and fear kicks in, but if we keep our eyes on the Lord we have nothing to fear.

I hope this plan has helped you grow closer to God. For more Bible plans like this, and the Do Not Diminish podcast where we discuss deep Christian topics checkout the YouTube link and others at https://linktr.ee/jaygrubz
