What to Say When You Don't Know What to Say: Truth From God's Word for Any Situation預覽

Life-Giving Words for the Anxious

She couldn't put her finger on the source, really. She just started to notice it creeping into every crevice of her life: at work, when she knew the meeting was coming up; on the drive home, with all the crazy drivers; with the way she felt when she opened the mailbox and saw another bill. At every turn, the anxiety meter just kept creeping higher and higher. She could feel it in her stomach, her thoughts, her soul…

What should she do? What should any of us do? Anxiety in a myriad of forms seems to plague our nation like never before. Despite the huge uptick in antianxiety medicine prescriptions, we still find ourselves frenzied and fretting about so many things. Yet Jesus says to us, “Fear not!” But how? We lament in response. Can’t He see how huge our problems are?

Jesus’ Words aren’t empty like ours. His Command comes with Supernatural Power and the Promise of Lasting Peace. The key? Remembering His Presence! The God who controls the storm stands with us, ready to steady our hearts in the middle of our panic moments. What a breath of fresh air we can bring to those around us when we help them remember our Sovereign Savior, who soothes the storm with “Peace, be still.”
