Anxiety

 Hello Readers, 

I am sorry for not posting the past few months. I have been going through a hard time in my life. I want to talk about anxiety because it is a real thing and what I have been dealing with. People deal with it every day for many reasons, especially today in the world. I want to look at what God says about anxiety. First of all if you are having anxiety God cares and loves you very much. 1 Peter 5:7 says this, Cast all your anxieties on him because he cares for you. Even if it seems silly to you, it isn't to him; he knows and is with you. Anxiety is a very serious topic, so fill yourself with happiness, fun things  and just focusing on the joy in a relationship with Jesus and the hope that he brings. Philippians 4:4-9 says this: Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God  which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true,whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such  things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen me in - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. You  can take your mind off those anxious thoughts and focus on all of those other good things. Proverbs 12:25 says this: Anxiety weighs down the heart, but kind words cheers it up.   This means  saying kind words to yourself or telling yourself your strengths can boost your heart. Another thing too is when others are going rough a time of anxiety or a hard time, you can cheer someone up with kind words. Anyway, wherever you are at in the life you live, remember that God loves you and he hears your prayers.
