What do we do when we are anxious? The outcomes may include physical and emotional responses. We can feel the tension in our bodies or experience our mind racing. Even though our body responds without our conscious decisions, we can have a choice in our reaction.
When we feel anxious and are faced with situations that cause anxiety, we do not have to face them on our own. We can call on God to help us. We can learn to deal with anxiety by trusting in Him and in the ways that He provides for us to overcome anxiety. We can find joy in His promises, in His compassion, in His strength, and in the people and methods that He provides in our lives to help us. When we call on God and trust Him, we can learn to turn anxiety to joy!
When facing anxiety, call on God, trust Him, and listen to the help He provides so you can have joy!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being with me. Help me when I feel anxious or face anxiety so I can find joy in You. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
