Anxiety (55)
  1. Whoever your president is, you have a King. A King who elected you.
  2. This earth is not the place where your promise is to be found. Rejoice because the kingdom of God comes to you!
  3. This prayer expresses the feeling of separation and the resulting distress from feeling like we are abandoned.
  4. Understanding that I am completely free in Christ allows me to read the injunction to “love my neighbor as myself” as a promise instead of a threat.
  5. Solomon did not write Ecclesiastes to bum you out. He wrote it to set you free.
  6. Christians have the rare faculty, above all other people on earth, of knowing where to place their care, while others vex and torture themselves and at length must despair.
  7. We don’t just need someone to bear our guilt and die for us. We also need someone to defeat all of the forces of sin and darkness and anxiety and depression that overwhelm us.
  8. 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.
  9. As the storm waves of life crash into us, threatening to pull us down into the undertow of sin, Jesus comes and stands between us and the furious tides.
  10. God will keep his promises, but how he keeps them is often quite surprising.
  11. What we can learn from all these instances is that we are all born into this world with a pre-existing condition. It’s called mortality, and no earthly authority or expert can save us from it.
  12. Jesus has conquered; he who has an ear let him hear. There is nothing to run from, nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to fear because the Lamb of God has done it all.
