Anxiety is Hard to Control

Anxiety is Hard to Control Do you ever find yourself anxious for no obvious reason? Your heart beats faster, your mind races, and you begin fixating on… unhelpful thoughts. Maybe you’re projecting your fears, assuming the worst about yourself or your circumstances. In Psalm 62, David is in a similar situation. Verses 3-4 lament offenses against him at the hands of his enemies. But David reminds himself once more of the promise at the beginning of the Psalm– his rest can be found in God. He interrupts fear and dismay, reminding himself where his true security comes from. It’s okay that, sometimes, we have to remind ourselves to trust God. We can try to interrupt anxiety and call back to the truths we’ve believed and lived before. It’s challenging to keep faith in hard situations, but praise God, there’s grace for us in our struggles, and truth in the midst of fear.
