Anxiety StrikesPrøve

Day 1: The Fight

In many ways life is a fight.

We fight for our spouses, our kids, our family, our friends, and our own well-being. We want what is best for them all, but we don’t have the power to control every situation that arises. Our lack of ability to control situations leads to fearing the potential outcomes, which gives birth to anxiety.

Anxiety is a heavy hitter. It pulls no punches and always goes for the knockout. Its goal is to back you into a corner and cut off any chance of escape. It wants to cripple you.

But I thank God that He has made a way of escape, and a way to fight back for us. Much like a fighter backed up against the ropes, there are strategies and tools we can use to win when anxiety strikes. This battle is spiritual, mental, and physical.

It is my prayer that the Scripture and examples in this devotional will help you grow in the power of the Holy Spirit. Then you will be overwhelmingly victorious against anxiety no matter how much it has beaten you up in the past.
