For An Anxious Heart

For An Anxious Heart

Anxiety. Does it sneak up on you too? I don’t consciously decide to be anxious.  But I wrestle with the “what ifs” and play out worst-case scenarios in my mind way too often.  Then I feel like a bad Christian because I should know better.  

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

This verse brings me such comfort! God knows our anxious hearts. He doesn’t belittle us when we’re struggling.  He invites us.  To come close. To surrender the concern. To trust His care. And He reminds us that He loves us anyway.  If you’re anxious today, I get it. And so does God.  Close your eyes.  Call out to Him and let Him carry the load.  I pray that His presence and peace overcome the anxiety in your heart today.  – Sandi
