Anxiety

Discover the satisfaction you can have from knowing God as a trusted Friend.
You may wonder why there are so many problems today. The Bible teaches that God will soon act to relieve mankind’s problems such as suffering, illness, and death.
Anxiety has two faces. One is a liability; the other, an asset. The Bible helps us to recognize both kinds.
              THE REALITY
Anxiety involves feelings of uneasiness, nervousness, or worry. Because we live in an uncertain world, bouts of anxiety can overtake any of us.
       WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
King David wrote: “How long will I have anxious concern, with grief in my heart each day?” ( Psalm 13:2 ) What helped David to cope? He poured out his heart to God in prayer, trusting fully in God’s loyal love. In fact, God invites us to unburden ourselves to him. Throw all your anxiety on God, because he cares for YOU.
Doing something for loved ones can allay our anxiety about them
Often, though, we can allay anxieties by addressing them in a practical way. For example, when the Bible writer Paul felt anxiety for all the congregations,he worked hard to comfort and encourage those for whom he was concerned. In that respect, his anxiety proved to be an asset, for it moved him to extend needed help. The same can be true of us. The opposite attitude APATHY or INDIFFERNCE would indicate a lack of loving concerns. So even under anxiety we must ensure to show love to every one around us.
