What verse do you go back to when life feels overwhelming?
Doing the right thing when it costs you something is character. Doing the right thing when it costs you nothing is just convenience.
Fear will not win
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God - Isaiah 41:10
Here’s what God has to say about what’s next for you… 1. "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." — Matthew 6:34 2. "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." — 1 Peter 5:7 3. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." — Philippians 4:6 4. "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." — Deuteronomy 31:8 5. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you." — Jeremiah 29:11 6. You are not the first one to worry about tomorrow. But God has already been there. He goes with you.
"Anxiety is a signal alerting you that it's time to pray." - Craig Groeschel
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you…do not let your hearts be troubled. - John 14:27
What's the Bible verse that calms you down when anxiety hits?
1: Fear is not from God. 2: Scripture tells us: For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. - 2 Timothy 1:7 3: So when fear tries to take over, remember what God has placed inside of you.
Worry drains you. Worship fills you.
There is power in the name of Jesus
They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD. – Psalm 112:7
Back to School
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. - 1 John 4:18
Be brave.
Fear is loud, but God's love is louder
He’s got the whole world in His hands
Stop overthinking. Start by going to God.
Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's obeying anyway.
The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else. - Oswald Chambers
If anxiety has been heavy lately, this is for you:
1. No more needing all the answers. Be okay in the hands of the one who has them. 2. No more striving. Embrace rest. 3. No more pretending it’s fine. Trust that it will be. 4. No more 3am spiral. Remember you aren’t alone in the dark. 5. No more white-knuckling through life. Release what’s out of your control. 6. No more fear of what’s ahead. Have faith in who goes before you.
Anxiety asks “what if?” Faith says “even if.”
