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

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
