Previous Daily Devotional About fear and anxiety Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (NIV) Fear and anxiety are normal emotions. As normal as they are, these stress-makers shred our ability to be kind, caring, and compassionate people. Fear and anxiety turn us inward towards ourselves. Satan can and will use these emotions against us at every opportunity. When we experience fear and anxiety we must take a deep breath and think about Christ and His assurance to be with us. We must remember to relax and place these negative emotions in a proper perspective. Fear is the emotion generated by a tangible threat. Anxiety is the emotion generated by an intangible threat. Fear is the result of something real. Anxiety is the result of something imagined. When we are fearful and anxious we must remember to pray. Obviously, fear and anxiety take away our prayerful moods, but God does not care about your prayerful moods. God cares that you come to Him in prayer, regardless of your emotions or your circumstances. |
