Show up, i keep hearing those two simple words everywhere I go and from everyone i know. I have to show up to get paid, show up to church, show up and pray more, show up on social media, show up and go to therapy. In other words i need to be consistent because i have been slacking and not doing what i am supposed to be doing because well let’s face it i have been distracted.
Anxiety, worry and tension are some of the most destructive forces we can face today. They steal our strength and slowly undermine our faith, keeping us from maturing in the Lord. If we are to grow in our relationship with Jesus, we must discover God’s plan for freedom from the crippling cycle of anxiety. Philippians 4:6 says: “Do not worry about anything,” writes Paul, “but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God.” The underlying message here is very clear: Pray more. Give thanks more. And don’t focus on your anxiety.
