How to Deal with Anxiety

In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, he gives 3 reasons why we don't need to be anxious:

1. You are valuable to God.

2. Your worry does no good.

3. You are provided for by God.

While the cares of this life tend to consume us, Jesus tells us to prioritize our attention on him. Yes, these things are easier said than done, but this is a way of life that requires practice and intentionality. Ultimately, whatever may come in this life, God's provision is eternal.

Try writing down some of the biggest worries or challenges you've faced. How has God worked in your life? How have you experienced God's presence? Remember that the same God who brought you through previous trials will see you through your future ones.

 

Disclaimer: one of the common graces of God is medical advancements and people who have devoted themselves to helping others with health issues. If you have debilitating anxiety or depression, don't hesitate to seek professional help.
