Combating Anxiety With God's Word预览

As the pace of my footsteps quickened, so did my desperation. I needed God to meet me. I needed Him to fix the situation that had allowed pain, frustration and anger to commandeer my heart. Upon calling out to Him, this verse repeatedly came to my mind and after several minutes of frustration and confusion, it hit me. I was the fool.   

This is not only a verse for unbelievers; this is a verse for any of us any time our thoughts, emotions and actions show that we don’t believe God is God. 

Anytime we come to God demanding actions and answers and base our peace upon receiving them or place the condition of our hearts on the outcome of a given situation, we are being foolish. These behaviors create a perfect storm for anxiety to blaze.   

Upon seeing our actions for what they are (unbelief and foolishness) peace almost instantly reigns because no matter what, God has it. No matter what, He is enough and no matter what, He is far more able to handle the details of our lives than we are.  

As daughters of the Most High, we can rest knowing what amazingly capable Hands we are in.
