Anxiety can certainly paralyze us from time to time. If all we do is sit and watch the news and listen to everyone tell us how bad things are and how much worse they are going to get, it is easy to feel a bit anxious. And, listen, there are some things that are very trying and taxing right now.
People are out of work. Children are out of school but still in school. Parents are suddenly "homeschooling" their children, with each teacher using a different platform, thus making the parents remember multiple usernames, passwords, etc. Then, of course, the COVID -19 that is ravaging parts of our world and country, which is absolutely devastating and heartbreaking.
Our word for the day is Psalm 34:4, KJV, which reads, "I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears."
There is no doubt that our anxiety is heightened, and certainly worsened, by all the things we listen to and watch. If all we watch and listen to are things that make us more anxious, we are going to find ourselves more anxious. Things are bad, heartbreaking, and they can make us anxious. BUT, have you sought the comfort and security of being in GOD'S presence, being held in His arms?
Today's word is a reminder that when we seek the LORD, He hears us. He is listening to the cries and pleas of His children. He knows what is going on. He knows how it is going to end. He sees the big picture. He wants to hear from us. And, when we seek Him, not only does He hear us, He will deliver us from ALL our fears. Want to reduce your anxiety? Seek Him - He Delivers.
Be Blessed,
