I battle with fear and anxiety.  Today I am losing the battle.  Will I always be anxious? What am I afraid of? I don’t get it some days.  I battle with trust.  Just when I think I am winning the battle, something happens and I feel like the rug has been pulled out from under me.  Maybe I trust people too much.  When they mess up, I take it personal. Like it was my fault.  Ugggh…..this suks.

So, I put on Christian music and read these verses again and again. Please Lord, let it sink in.  I know God is at work, I just wish He would hurry up about it!  Sometimes I think it would be easier to be a rock.

10 Bible Verses About Anxiety

Philippians 4:6-8

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.

Matthew 6:31-34

“Do not be anxious then, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘With what shall we clothe ourselves?’ “For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Psalm 56:3

When I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.
