Want to win the war on worry? Rejoice in the Lord’s strength, faithfulness, and accomplishments. Rejoice in his creation, his incarnation, and his act of redemption. Anxiety decreases as our understanding of the Lord increases.
Want to see if your heart is weighed down with worry? Look for these clues:
- Are you laughing less than you once did?
- Do you see problems in every promise?
- Would those who know you best describe you as increasingly negative and critical?
- Do you assume something bad is going to happen?
- How many days would you rather stay in bed than get up?
- If given the chance, would you avoid any interaction with humanity for the rest of your life?
If you answered yes to more than a few of these questions, the Prince of Peace stands ready to help trade your cares for calm.
