These excerpts jumped out at me!
...Anxiety is the natural result when our hopes are centered on anything short of God and His will for us. When we make anything else our goal, frustration and defeat are inevitable. Turn your eyes on Christ; worship Him. He will never fall or fail. He gives life balance, security and peace.
Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, warned us against anxiety: "Do not worry about your life... But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:25-33, NIV)...
... We have anxiety when we try to carry life's burdens alone. The Bible says: "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7, NIV)...
.. Christ said: "Take my yoke upon you" (Matthew 11:29, NIV). When we are yoked with Christ, pulling as a team, life's burdens are easily borne...
...To all who wish to be rid of anxiety, I would make three simple suggestions:
...First, stop seeking the trivial...
...Second, get your eyes off yourself; focus them upon God first, and then others...
Third, commit yourself fully to Christ. Don't be a half-surrendered Christian...
