1. God's Word reveals the truth about us. We don't much care for God's Word. We prefer the yes and no of our personal taste buds.
  2. God is not an impassive monster who is unfamiliar with our horrendous ailments. Rather, in Christ, God familiarizes himself with our suffering and becomes particularly attuned to the fragility of fallen humanity.
  3. Only through Christ and his work are our sins forgiven, and our consciences set free and made glad.
  4. Fear returns frequently in worry, but along with it comes a reminder to turn back to the Gospel. To turn anyone who will tell me the good news again.
  5. Ultimately, you are not your problems. You are not your weaknesses. You are not your sins. You are sanctified. You are the recipient of God’s abundant, forgiving, amazing grace.
