Life has a way of creating anxious moments. It might be waiting for the results of an exam. It might come from rumors of layoffs at work. It could be as simple as your pay check not getting you through the month.
THE ROOT OF ANXIETY
Anxiety is complicated, often coming with layers upon layers to reveal before you get at the root cause, which could be anything from insecurity to hunger for control.
There is a multitude of sources that could be triggering your anxiety, such as environmental factors like a job or personal relationship, medical conditions, traumatic past experiences – even genetics plays a role, points out Medical News Today.
Seeing a therapist is a good first step. You can’t do it all alone. It may be time to explore what lies beneath the sweaty palms, shakiness, butterfly-filled stomach, and tight shoulders. Getting to the root cause will not only help you diminish your anxiety, but you’ll also be better able to truly understand yourself along the way.
THERE IS HOPE!
You can find relief from the anxiety that controls you. It may not be easy to see right now, but anxiety does not need to rule your life. My wife and I brought our fears and concerns to God. Jesus Christ gave us peace. In the Bible, the Apostle Peter gives those of us who battle anxiety great hope. He tells us, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you,” (1 Peter 5:7 NIV).
Knowing that God cares for us and that He can lift us out of our anxiety is life-changing.
You can overcome anxiety. Begin by taking your problems to Jesus knowing that He cares for you. Ask Him to become Lord of your life and take away the pain of wrong decisions. Ask Him for new life and to help you live without fear. It may take time, but remember that Jesus loves you and can help you live without anxiety.
