We find that by praying and finding the grace of God can drive us deeper into knowing him and trusting him. By worrying all the time this shows the little faith we have in God, we must trust in him at all times. No matter what we are worried about, we get through it and don’t even remember why we were worried in the first place. We need to remember that God is faithful and will never leave us!
The root of anxiety: Jesus says in Matthew “Don’t worry about tomorrow for today has enough worries of its own”. He also tells his disciples “Do not be anxious”. God knows that we are anxious and worry about what life throws our way, even Jesus disciples were anxious through the storm but we need to learn to pray and give it to God.
“Fight the good fight of faith” (1 Timothy 6:12). Finding the connection between our anxiety and our unbelief is good news! Because it is the only way to focus our fight on the real cause of sin! Our anxiety is rooted in our failure to live by faith in future grace.
Sometimes it’s like we are driving along and our vision gets blurred temporarily and we can’t see what’s going on outside of the car. But God can and once we put on out windscreen wipers it’s like we can see again and actually everything was ok. So even though we temporarily get anxious during the blurred vision times, we have trust in God. But by Grace, we set in motion a process of resistance!!
Psalm 56:3 “When I am afraid I put my trust in thee”.
Even promises of Future Grace against anxiety:
Matthew 6:25 – 34. God’s promises.
Isaiah 41:10 “Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am your God, I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you, with my Victorious hand”. God will never fail me or never leave me. Have faith and trust in God and cast your anxieties and worries on him.
“If God is for us, who is against us” Romans 8:31.
