God’s Response To Anxiety

“When anxiety was great within me Your consolation brought me joy.” Psalm 94:19

God’s Response To Anxiety
http://www.itsmilkandhoney.com/

When dealing with anxiety, it can feel like a dark voice is following you, pointing out all your insecurities, doubts, and worries. You feel so overwhelmed and unsettled within yourself. Anxiety, no matter how big or small, can make you feel like you are in a lonely battle. But God is constantly with you and is constantly fighting foryou.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, 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

God does not want His children to suffer. Your suffering does reach His ears and His heart. It hurts Him to see His children suffering. To believe in God, you must believe in the devil. Where there is goodness, there is evil. The enemy does not want your belongings or your money; He wants your faith, your heart, and your peace. He wants to consume all of what is pure.

But when you cling to God, you are defeating what the enemy does not want you to have. He does not want joy, peace, love or understanding. God’s love is stronger than anything else in the world. By releasing your anxiety, your stress, and your worries to Him, you become stronger, knowing that you are not fighting your battles alone. So often, anxiety stems from believing that you have to figure out your problems and stresses alone and all at once, but God is with you and He will comfort you.

“Cast all of your anxieties on Him because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

Pray to God to grant you peace and understanding. Know that the strength within yourself and your heart for God is stronger than anything or anyone pulling you down. Give all your fears and worries to God. He will allow you to blossom into the strong, faithful woman that you are meant to be. Just breathe, pray and know that God is always fighting with you.

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
