We begin week four of our journey reading Sue Detweiler’s book, 9 Traits of a Life Giving Mom: Replacing My Worst with God’s Best.
That dreaded word….anxiety. Why does it seem it is more prevalent today than at any other time? Or is it that we just manage to talk about it? Was it just as common, but just not talked about?
Week Four
Read Chapter Four – Replacing My Anxiety with God’s Peace
Trait 1: Peace
Anxiety is no secret to me – seems that the older I get the more issue I have with anxious feelings and recognizing when they begin to rise up. Worry can go hand in hand with anxiety as well as insecurity and lack of confidence. I can struggle with these emotional issues at different times. But the one thing I need to remember is God is there, and He knows what I am feeling.
What can I do differently to hand off whatever I am concerned about to trust Him completely. My anxiety issues are better than they used to be, but I can certainly learn to allow Him to be present more and prove the peace that He promises.
