At times we all have anxious thoughts. These negative thoughts attack our faith, hopes and dreams and attempt to send us into a spiral of restlessness and fear. For God’s children, the only positive thing about anxiety is that it causes us to look to Him in a bigger way to find relief and answers to our dilemmas. God does not send anxiety, but He will use anxiety to get us to come to Him and allow His Love to push out the fear. When we feel anxious and cannot find relief, we are more motivated to come to God, as we recognize how desperately we need Him. It is not God’s will for us to stay in a state of anxiety. He longs to transport us to a spiritual place where we can be consoled, soothed, and comforted by the knowledge and reality of His steadfast faithfulness and unconditional love. There is no delight on earth that can compare with the comfort of God’s love and the joy His love brings to cheer and delight our soul!

“In the multitude of my [anxious] thoughts within me, Your comforts cheer and delight my soul!”(Psalm 94:19).
