Anxiety
adjective
experiencing worry, unease, or nervousness, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.
wanting something very much, typically with a feeling of unease.
Whether we want to admit it or not, we all have moments when our emotions get the best of us. We find ourselves letting the voices in our head speak louder than the faith in our hearts. We doubt. We don’t believe. We get scared. We panic. We’re human. Its okay. We just have to remind ourselves that we were not given a spirit of fear. We are not to be anxious for anything. The word directs us to pray and petition God for the desires of our heart. We need to be reminded that God is in control. Anxiety has no place. We have the power to cast down every imagination. We were not created to worry. We were created to worship in spirit and in truth, not fear or doubt or anxiety.
Outnumbered
There are seasons of our life where we feel overwhelmed by our circumstances. We keep adding things to our “to do” list, and nothing is getting done. We have more bills than income. Everyone has their hand out, and it all seems like too much. We can’t seem to find any time for self care because everyone is pulling. We are outnumbered by our titles. We are outnumbered by our tasks. We are outnumbered by our sense of defeat. We can’t seem to find our way out. This is when we cry out. This is when we ask for help. This is when we find ourselves alone. There is help. There is hope. You are not alone.
Matthew 11:28-29 (KJV) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
