When my anxiety was increasing,
Your comfort filled my soul with joy.
(Psalm 94:19)
When my anxiety was increasing,
Your comfort filled my soul with joy.
(Psalm 94:19)
Anxiety is a feeling that can paralyze our faith. Similarly, strengthening ourselves in faith is the best way to combat anxiety. While faith is "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1), anxiety is driven by doubt and uncertainty.
Jesus is the remedy for anxiety! The devil plants doubt, but Christ provides us with relief and direction. Do not let anxiety dominate you. Meditate on the Word of God. Dissipate the fear of what the future may bring with the presence of God.
Cast out anxiety
- If you feel anxious, pray. Ease your heart by talking to God about how you feel.
- Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. When our faith grows, anxiety decreases.
To pray:
Lord, your Word comforts me. Your voice calms me and brings joy. Remove all doubt, fear, and uncertainty from my heart. Make your dwelling in me, Lord! Amen.
