“If you want to cut your anxiety in half you must engage in God’s word.”
This is a quote from Jon Tyson from when he spoke at this year’s passion conference. For me this was so challenging because it applies to every single struggle. If we want to defeat anxiety, depression, fear, doubt, or any challenge we are walking through really, we don’t stand a chance if we aren’t living in the word of God.
What we all tend to do is look for our own solution. We don’t approach our Heavenly Father. We don’t look in His word for instruction. We take our challenge head on. But where does that get us?
St. Augustine says it best:
“What am I without you but a guide to my own destruction?”
The good news is we don’t need to fix our struggles on our own.
Romans 8:11:
“If the spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give live to your mortal bodies through His spirit who dwells in you”
The Holy Spirit, the same one that brought Christ back to life, is resting in us. That’s so encouraging. There’s not a time that Christ is not with us. So, we can rely on Him, we can seek Him, and He is faithful to lead us along the path of righteousness, and heal our broken wounds.
