Anxiety Christians Have

As christians, we often find something to worry about. (Or be anxious about.) It could be something huge, or something insanely small that's a big deal to us. But when you think about it, there is nothing worth being anxious for except for Christ's return. Philippians 4:6 tells us, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;" If only we prayed for God to comfort us in our times of worry. We often forget that God knows all anyway, and everything is in His hands and will happen accordingly to His will.

I have struggled with this a lot over the passed year, just with everything. Every night I'm up for atleast an hour after turning my lights out thinking of what I'm gonna do tomorrow or what might happen tomorrow, as if I have control over it anyway. Instead of going to God with it, I worry a lot about what will happen in the near future. I plan ahead to often that I tend to forget that I'm not guaranteed tomorrow. God can take my life whenever He pleases and my life shall happen according to His plan.

I also have a tendency to worry about other people, like my parents. I wonder what my life would be like without them, I can only imagine it'd be dreadful. So, instead of praying for them every day, I worry about them and think about the worse.

What do you worry about? Are you one of those people at church who zone out during the sermon, I am guilty of it also sometimes. Do you worry about the football game that will be on or your favorite show coming on?

If we just pray that God will comfort us during our times of anxiety, He will take the excitement away!
