Set Me Free: Devotions From Time of Grace MinistryExemplo

SET ME FREE FROM MENTAL PRISONS: ANXIETY Do you ever have panic attacks? When you feel as though your life is being swept up in a tornado of bad things and you are helpless? Do you get exhausted from worry because your whole life seems to be teetering on the edge? Do you assume that things will always turn out for the worst? Does your mind race while you are trying to fall asleep? Do you jump when the phone rings, dreading the call that loved ones are dead in a ditch? Relax. You were created by a loving, omnipotent genius who designed you for a life of joy, not fear. You were rescued by God's Son, Christ Jesus, who lived for you, died your death for you, rose again as a prototype of your own rising, and guarantees your forgiveness as your personal intercessor. Your needs matter to your heavenly Father, and you have but to ask. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6,7). The Father's kind wishes for you are carried out by legions of holy, mighty angels who leap to do his bidding. You are loved. You are safe. You are immortal.
