ANXIETY AND PEACE

Anxiety tells you that you are in a situation that is too big for God to handle;

Peace assures you that nothing is too hard for the Lord.

Anxiety assumes the worst will happen;

Peace affirms the best is yet to be.

Anxiety points you to your inadequacy;

Peace confirms that God’s grace is sufficient.

Anxiety causes you to panic;

Peace causes you to be still.

Anxiety shows you your lack;

Peace points you to God’s supply.

Anxiety warns of defeat and failure;

Peace proclaims God’s victory and success.

Anxiety causes you to strive;

Peace causes you to rest.

Anxiety says “You will be carried away by the storm;”

Peace says “Your anchor holds.”

Anxiety fills you with darkness;

Peace floods you with light.

Anxiety tells you to first seek a solution;

Peace tells you to first seek the Kingdom.

Anxiety tells you, you won’t make it;

Peace assures you, God will bring you through.
