Overcoming Anxiety

When the bible exhorts us not to fear or be anxious, it’s not implying that we should never be anxious. The many exhortations not to be afraid assumes that we will be. But although we will experience fear, we must not wallow in a state of anxiety or become paralyzed by it. Rather, we need to do something with it—something that will bring God’s peace and power to bear in our lives and circumstances. Panic will turn to peace when worry turns to worship.
