Ever Get Anxious?

Do you ever get anxious? A sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, a sudden burst of concern floods your mind, or tension that rolls in like fog in your emotions. From time to time everyone has felt some sort of anxiety. The issue is not if we get anxious but what we do with that anxiety.

I've tweaked something in a small muscle. It's not pulled. It is aggravated.When I run it screams like a  mom who has told her kid for the last time to clean that room. Because of this there is a little bit of anxiety. Pain has a way of creating those moments for us doesn't it?

So now what?

It could be the root of anxiety is actually fear. Fear will paralyze you and keep you from being all that you are designed to be. So what do you do with this fear, this anxiety? Seems like I remember something in the Bible about this topic that might just help. 1 John 4:18 "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love."

Remember He loves you - I have no need to fear!
Realize His love is perfect - fear has to flee! 
Release His love in you - casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, 

with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 

Philippians 4:6
