Are you distressed about future uncertainties, either real or imagined?
Many people are! Many feel vulnerable and unprotected. And, no wonder! With all the stresses of modern life, it is quite normal to feel anxious at times.
But, it seems that millions are persistently worried, tense, and anxious beyond what would usually be considered as typical. It is something of an epidemic-like condition of our current society.
People worry about money, health, relationships, threats, rejection, and a varied host of other issues in our day-to-day life. Some people even worry about the end of the world.
Typical symptoms of anxiety are easy to recognize.
Current research shows that mainly, anxiety is experienced as a persistent state of worry. Of course, symptoms vary from person to person and can range from mild to severe mental agitation. This worry can consist of any combination of elements, especially feelings of insecurity that something bad is going to happen, helplessness to do anything about it, and being isolated so that there is not sufficient help.
There are also physical symptoms that may be associated with anxiety, such as headaches, muscular tension, digestive problems, problems sleeping, and lack of energy.
The anxious person may feel restless and edgy. They may have trouble with concentration and be very irritable. Sometimes anxiety is so intense that it interferes with typical daily activities at home and at work. It’s hard to snap out of this state, even when people want to.
There is good news!
But, there is good news. There is a way out of anxiety according to the Bible. There are practical steps.
In the Word of God, we find that Believers are given the way to deal with anxiety. They are given access to a peace that passes human understanding.
Does it sound too good to be true? Well, it is true!
Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
This scripture and others like it give us the answer to the restless, agitated feelings of anxiety. If you have not found this kind of relationship with God, you can. If you seek this God with all your heart, you will find Him.
Nature of the true God!
The God Who made you is the God Who loves you. He wants you to have a relationship with Him.
Psalms 34: 4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. 5 They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed. 6 This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them. 8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! 9 Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. 10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
It takes faith to reach out to the God Who is reaching out to mankind. And, God will give that faith, also. Ask. You will be given. Are you willing to invest yourself in your own future well-being? Then seek. You will find.
It is important to know that humans do not tend to seek God. When someone truly begins to seek Him, it is a clear indication that God is working in that life. And, when God is involved in our lives, we are certainly not isolated and without hope anymore. Beginning with God is the beginning of the end of anxiety.
