Jesus Frees Us From Anxiety

Anxiety is the chief enemy of peace. Anxiety threatens our sleep and our sanity. And it's when we're anxious that we're most likely to lash out at others, ruining our peace with them and with ourselves. Jesus soothes our anxiety by offering us His peace. Our anxiety can be overcome, Paul tells us "By praying we are removing our anxieties from our heart" where they stir us and trouble us, and placing them in His hands. As we do so, God's peace will flow from heaven, soothing our spirits, even when we can't understand why we have the peace that we do. in Chirst, our hearts and minds are guarded, safe, and secure from every threat to peace.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7)

101 Things Jesus Has Done for You, by Thomas Nelson

Jesus Gives us His Guidance

Every journey needs either a roadmap or a navigator. Fortunately for us, in our journey with Jesus, we have both. To me, it feels like sometimes God is walking beside me, sometimes He walks behind me, and sometimes He walks in front of me. One thing that I know for sure is He will NEVER let me walk alone. When I have no idea where to go; He will walk in front of me so I can follow His footsteps and so I won't be afraid because I am walking on the right path. When I feel lonely and insecure along the way; He will walk beside me and He will tell me that He is right next to me. When I know where to go but not really sure about the journey ahead of me; He will walk behind me and tell me where to turn and when I should stop. Jesus hasn't left me without a guide. He watches over my every step. "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, "This is the way; walk in it." (Isaiah 30:21)
