I thought that today I would post some Scriptures that pertain to something I struggle with - anxiety. I don't mean just a little stress. I mean I have the kind of stress that requires daily medication so I can function as a normal person and not freak out.
Genesis 21:17 - And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
Hagar had anxiety and fear, too. Of course her fear was for her son. Yet God took care of everything.
Exodus 14:13-14 - 13And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. The Lord will fight for us. We must bring our things to Him and stay within His peace.
Psalm 13:2-5 - 2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? 3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; 4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
This is something I have struggled with. Sometimes it is so hard to give everything over to Him when it feels like the pressure is just never going to end. It is so good to know that I serve a God that hears me and that will take care of me. I need only trust in Him.
1 Peter 5:7 - Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.Labels: faith files, she's come undone |
