Anxiety

Anxiety, Get Thou Away From Me!

For the last few days off and on, I feel anxious. I do not experience these feelings often at all so when I have them it is disrupting. A thought just occurred to me, anxiety is our inners pacing in the living room. As I sit at my desk, I just want to get up, go to the living room, walk and talk to myself. This is anxiety.

Perhaps, my feelings are getting the better of me or the battlefield I am joining a loved one in has immense pressures and fiery darts. The armor gets so heavy and I don’t know how anyone does this without Jesus. Perhaps, their nerves don’t feel it because they are calloused.

Lord, please help me to never be calloused to the battles of others. How can I pray if I don’t also know that the battle is real. The anxiety is fear driven, but I know You have the victory already!

As a Christian, I should not sit idly by and see others suffer. If I am unable to physically help them, I can pray. Anxiety makes me feel tattered and torn. The only thing tattered and torn in my life should be my Bible from use and the knees of my jeans from a life surrendered in prayer.

Lord, I pray that whatever is facing us today, that we trust YOU, and YOU alone! I pray that we talk it out with You, surrender it to You, and trust that You have the victory already sealed for our purposes and YOUR Glory!

In His Love, Rachele
