When anxiety visits, have you noticed that it often brings along it’s not so good friend, shame? It whispers things like, “You’re not a very good Christian if you’re still wrestling with anxiety” or “You will never be free from anxiety or fear.”
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7
How does God respond when you’re anxious and afraid? With compassion. And an invitation to share your concerns with Him. He doesn’t shun or shame you. He cares for you and wants to carry the burdens that are weighing you down.
You weren’t made to carry this load alone. Surrender to God’s way. Acknowledge His authority and compassion. Trust His heart and His timing.
Easier said than done. But worth the doing. God sees your anxious heart today. He cares for you. And He wants to carry you. -Sandi
