Money, family, school, political situations, relationships, illness, the “unknown,” and probably many that you have experienced that we haven’t listed here. There can be so many reasons to be tempted to be anxious. “ But Jesus looked at them and said to them, ‘With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” Matthew 19:26.“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5.“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13.“That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 1:7.And that which He does allow to happen to you, He allows so that you can be sanctified through it. So put your trust in the Lord and rest in faith that He is always with you and that He will never allow anything to happen to you that you can’t bear. “Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” Matthew 6:27.Believing that will combat anxiety itself. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1.It can be hard to believe that, because you don’t see Him and His strength as a physical substance. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!” Psalm 139:16-17. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.Do not fear therefore you are of more value than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:29-31. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9.“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4.“The Lord is on my side I will not fear.” Psalm 118:6.“The Lord is your keeper the Lord is your shade at your right hand.” Psalm 121:5.He will uphold you and cause everything that happens to you to turn out for your best. ![]() You have the Almighty God, the Creator of the ends of the earth holding you in the palm of His hand! The truth is that when you believe that, there is not ever anything to worry about. The truth of the matter is that you have the greatest power in the universe on your side.
