Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus– Philippians 4:6-7.
I confess anxiety is a real struggle for me. Lots of things make me anxious. Fear of the unknown is one of the biggest fuels for my anxiety. Right now we have so many unknowns that I struggle with anxiety almost daily. I worry about what will happen if David does not find a job soon. I worry about where Caleb will go to college in just a few months. I worry about an ongoing health issue that I am dealing with. The issue is nothing major, but it is a bit annoying, and I am tired dealing with it and doctors.
I have a hard time remembering that I don’t have a “God lens.” Things may seem crazy and out of focus to me, but to God things are exactly how they need to be. I need to remember to keep my focus on him and let go of my anxiety. It is hard. If you are a praying person pray for me concerning this.
