Pick your own verse: Proverbs 15:16

“Better to have little, with fear for the LORD, than to have great treasure and inner turmoil.”

The world wants us to think if we have everything we want then we won’t have anxiety. That's just not true. Society wants us to “keep up with the Jones’” by longing for the next best biggest & brightest of whatever, but none of that will take away anxiety.

“Fear of the LORD” is simply living for Him in awe and reverence. We must know what punishment He is capable of doing, while being grateful He shows us grace and mercy. He wants to take away our negative emotions and worrisome thoughts- but we MUST give them to Him. God loves us unconditionally and wants to help us, however, He is also a gentleman & won’t force Himself on anyone. He win’t just swoop in and take away the bad. He wants us to give it to Him and trust Him to lead, guide, and direct us.

I hope this list was helpful and something you can come back to if you ever need it. I also hope you will give God all your anxiety and be free from it!
