Worry and anxiety doesn’t bring glory to God. Instead it says that you don’t trust God, and you are trying to take on the world in your own strength. Living this way is not living the abundant life God wants for you. Instead of spending your time worrying or being anxious, start spending time with God daily. Begin your day with Scripture and prayer, and consistently spend more time with the Lord each week. Soon you will find that it’s easier to trust God and let go of worry, as this post explains.
AB - Ep 32 Be Anxious For Nothing-HD
Isaiah 41:10
Father, I’m sorry that I have let worry and anxiety rule my thoughts and responses. I know this doesn’t glorify You. Please forgive me, and fill me with Your Spirit to help me deal with the chaos in my life in a way that glorifies You instead.
When I’m anxious, do I tend to spend more time or less time with God?
Spending time with God daily is the best way to discipline yourself to living in a way that glorifies Him. The more time you spend with God, the more peace and hope you will feel.
Jesus said we would face trials in our lives, and dealing with anxiety, worry, and stress is part of that. But He also said we would never have to face our trials alone. Turn to God when you feel anxious and you’ll find He has given you ways to deal with it through trusting Him, praying, reading Scripture, and laying down your burdens at His feet. You must trust in His love for you, and realize that everything is under His control. You are in capable hands when you trust God. Continue seeking Him daily while growing in your relationship with Him. When you do, you may find that anxiety will loosen its hold on you.
