Do you have a pervasive sense of apprehension and anxiety that just seems to permeate your whole life? If so, you're not alone. Many Christians struggle with baseline anxiety that is the ground note to their life. They know that their feelings are opposite to how God wants them to live and yet feel powerless to stop it.
But Jesus offers hope. Jesus does offer a better way. He invites us to lean into Him at every thought, every palm sweat or sleepless night, every wave of dizziness or panicked, racing thought. When we give our thoughts and emotions to Jesus, we can be assured that they are with the one who not only understands, but who is in charge of all of our situations and will never abandon us.
He was and always will be in control of our lives. He calls us to humble ourselves into a trusting relationship with Him something that will take time but is no less the only antidote to anxiety.
Jesus will never abandon us. Even if our very worst fears come true, He will see us through them and we will be with Him in glory one day, where the baseline to our lives is eternal praise and peace. Tune in this week as Pastor Paul preaches out of 1 Peter 5:6-9.
