Today my anxiety acted up. I battle with the kind of anxiety that lives under the surface. It’s constantly humming like computer server.
It’s to the point that nothing specific triggers it but it lingers waiting to jump out and lie to me.
It used to enter my mind and tell me that my greatest fears would be realized. Now I know better.
Today my nervous system just jolted a bit more than usual from the sound of an unexpected laugh or a babie’s cry.
It acted up but It didn’t win. I’ve trained my mind (with the help of therapy) to know that it has no real power. God is in control.
Sometimes I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death.
God is in control.
Will I wrestle with this for the remainder of my life…maybe…but..
God is in control.
There is a kind of fear that Peter had which God challenged, but there is another kind which is crippling fear. The kind that made Elijah run, hide and pray for God to end it all.
God is present and loving in both situations. Asking us to have faith or sending an angel to remind us and restore our faith.
Fear is powerful, but it’s no match for Faith.
