Anxiety today
April 3, 2023
Mental health statistics suggest that anxiety is more prevalent now than ever before. No one knows the exact reasons. Guesses include social media, which has people comparing themselves with others. Technology having folks on screens and artificial lighting. Concern about our future: personal, and our country.
Our country, including our leaders are at odds with each other, financial disruptions and post covid fallout.
Christ followers can lean in to this 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Scripture also has solutions. God’s consolation comforts us. Psalm 94: 19
Kind words comfort us Proverbs 12: 25 The apostle Paul experienced anxiety. Philippians 2: 28 We shift our burden of anxiety on God’s shoulders. His shoulders are strong enough.
