The Anxiety Epidemic #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NK #Normankissinger Bible Verse: "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." - Psalm 139:23-24 (KJV) Devotion: In today's fast-paced and often uncertain world, anxiety has become a prevalent issue for many people. As Christians, we must understand that while anxiety can stem from various sources, such as physical problems or spiritual attacks, it is often related to our relationship with God. The Psalmist in Psalm 139:23-24 invites God to search his heart, revealing any wickedness or anxiety within. This passage suggests that anxiety may be linked to our position in relation to God. When we fail to humble ourselves, repent of our rebellious hearts, and seek God's love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ, we may experience heightened levels of anxiety. As human beings, we often attempt to play God and solve our own problems. However, this prideful approach only leads to more anxiety, as we realize our inability to control every aspect of our lives. True peace comes from surrendering ourselves wholly to God and trusting in His divine plan. In Philippians 4:6-7, Paul encourages us to "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (KJV) By anchoring ourselves in God's truth and seeking Him through prayer, we can experience the peace that surpasses all understanding. Christian counseling plays a vital role in helping individuals navigate anxiety by guiding them back to the truth found in God's Word. As you reflect on your own life, ask God to search your heart and reveal any areas where you may not be fully trusting in Him. While not all anxiety is a result of a lack of faith, it can often serve as a thermometer, indicating areas where we need to surrender more fully to God. Remember, God loves you and desires to lead you in the way everlasting. By drawing closer to Him and allowing His truth to guide your life, you can experience the peace and comfort that only He can provide.
