How I got over anxiety!

I used to lie awake at night, running every "what if" over and over. What if I lose my job? What if something happens to my family? What if I'm not enough? I tried breathing apps, staying busy, and pushing it down. Some of it helped for a while, but the weight always came back.

One day I realised my anxiety wasn't really about the bills or the future. Deep down, I had no peace with God, and nothing could settle a heart that wasn't right with Him.

The problem was deeper than I thought

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”

(Romans 3:23)

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

(Romans 6:23)

God did what I couldn't

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

(Romans 5:8)

How I found peace

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

(Romans 10:9)

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

(Romans 10:13)

The peace that stays

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

(Romans 5:1)

Life still has its worries, but now I take them to Someone who cares:

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

(Philippians 4:6-7)

You can have this peace today

Jesus says,

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

(Matthew 11:28)

Admit your need, believe He died and rose for you, and call on Him.
