God's Promises: When Anxious

"Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall." - Psalm 55:22 -

This verse gives hope. Psalm 55 talks about how David suffered many things from his enemies and anxiety was in his heart. But it ended in victory with the realization that God saves and sustains anyone who calls Him out and prays to Him especially in times of adversity. If you offer your life to Him, if you just offer every aspect of your life to Him, He will take care of you and gives you the very best. He will sustain you in your needs. He will help you grow and learn how to be a genuine Christian. He will change your mind without you even noticing it. And once you are in His care, He will never let go of you. He will sustain and strengthen your faith.

"For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." - Isaiah 41:13 -

Thank you for your comforting words. For holding my hand and saying to me that everything will be alright. I have been fearful and anxious most of the time. And I'm thankful that you're there to help me. Telling me not to fear anything that is to come for you will always sustain me. Help me to realize your goodness when I get blinded by my fears. Help me to hope in you always.

"Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than clothes?" - Matthew 6:25 -

It has been heard many times that worrying will not resolve anything or will make things better. It will only make you sick and look old. But it's quite ironic that many of us worry about the little things in life without even knowing it. For some, they worry about what they will eat or drink with the little money they have. Some are confused on what and where to buy. Others are worried about what they are going to wear or will they even have anything to wear? But aside from what this verse speaks, other things that people worry are their health, bodies, physical appearances, health and safety of their loved ones, social pressures, questionable mutuality among peers and such. Do we also have to worry about these stuff? God says do not worry about your life. About anything at all. Why? Because worry will not change the circumstances in your life. It will only aggravate it. Only by praying and hoping to God can move and make things better. It may not always be the answer you are looking for. But it will always be for the best. But one must realize the act of worrying itself before he/she can even stop it. For if you fail to realize or acknowledge that you are in fact worrying, it may consume and blind you leading to your demise.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." - Matthew 11:28-29 -

I will never get tired of hearing God's comforting words for they never fail to give me hope and ease my soul. Whenever I cry out all the things that's bothering me, I know that He is listening to me when I can feel that the anxiety has left me. No longer afraid. No longer fearful. But hope overflows and shows. I am grateful that God has never given up on me despite of my shortcomings and never stopped listening to my cries all over again. He answers our prayers in His own time and his time is always right.

When we turn to Him, He will give us rest that even the best bed can't give. And if we turn to Him, we learn to be like Him--gentle and humble in heart. That is what God wants us to be. He wants us to be gentle in all matters. In making decisions and in living our daily lives. Not to forget, He wants us to be humble in heart. Never to brag anything because everything that we have all comes from God. Although we may have worked hard for some of the things we have acquired in this life, but God is the one who provided us with the needed strength and motivation to acquire those things. In everything that we do, we must always give glory to the One who has given us this precious gift of life and every good thing in it.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7 -
