Anybody out there worry or fret? Any woman out there suffering with anxiety? Want to be freed today? According to Webster's dictionary, relief is a release from anxiety or tension, or the feeling of release, lightness and and cheerfulness that accompanies this. It's a factor that ends a painful or stressful experience such as pain, hunger or boredom. I'm rarely bored, but we all have pain in our lives at some point. How do we overcome the anxiety that grips us? I don't have all the answers but I know that lately I have been standing on the truth expressed in Hebrews 11:1.
Hebrews 11:1 "The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It's our handle on what we cannot see."
The Message
Sometimes there are trials that come into our lives and they drag on forever. Or...as David expressed in the Psalms, "deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts". What that meant was that the trials in David's life were like the waves of the ocean. When you watch the waves, it seems like one calls unto the other as they roll in one after the other. The rough spots or trials in our lives can be like that. We seem to go through one thing after another. There have been times during the past 9 months, that I have not been living day to day, but actually moment to moment. That's what I had strength for. The one thing that I have held onto or gripped more than ever is the faith that I could trust in God. That whatever is brought into my life, God knows I can handle. He deems me worthy to endure it. It's this faith and trust that we can have in Him that makes life worth living for. When we cannot see the reward...when we cannot see the end to our current circumstances, faith is the handle! Get a firm grip, girls!
