Relax

Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but an encouraging word makes it glad.  Proverbs 12:25

If you have ever struggled with anxiety, you know all about the worry, uneasiness, and feeling of heaviness that comes with it.  It is almost like a feeling of fear with no rhyme or reason.

Let’s face it, there are some pretty serious things going on in the world right now and we certainly need to be aware of them, but at the same time, we also need to learn how to lighten up, relax, and take things as they come without getting all nervous and upset.

God never intended for us to live such worrisome and stressful lives…if it were so, then Jesus’ death on the cross would not provide us with peace of mind and hope during this lifetime.

The next time you feel tempted to become anxious or upset, take a moment to think about all of the good things God has done in your life and find something to be happy about…God will fill your soul with sense of peace.
