In today's episode I want to talk to you about the message I received last week surrounding anxiety and being anxious for nothing.
I have struggled with anxiety throughout my life, as I'm sure many of you have. I worry about social situations, whether or not I'm being the best mother, or even the smallest thing about my day's plan going wrong. While I meditated on this and thought about how anxiety shows up in my life, I realized something: I love to be in control of every aspect of my life and what's around me.
All the things I am anxious for, I am not handing over to God. I want it my way, on my terms, and that is not how it works. He has a plan and my ways are not His ways. Think about Philippians Chapter 4:6 – "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.." Think about what experiencing anxiousness looks like for you. You can do things with those that strengthen you in Their way when you rely on and partner with Them.
Control is a distractor. You don't need to be in control of everything all the time. I tend to be a helicopter mom, but that is not agency. My kids have the divine right to make their own choices. We all have that divine right.
I know this message means to release the fear. I know I'm not going to be perfect in it, but I have seen enough miracles to know that when God wants something to change, it will. The Divine has you in their sights.
