Why You're Anxious—and What to Do About It

In this powerful and deeply pastoral message, Jeffrey Johnson addresses the very real struggle of anxiety and how it often stems from our desire for control and a lack of trust in God's sovereignty. Drawing from Scripture, particularly Jesus’ words in Matthew 6, Pastor Johnson unpacks the nature of anxiety—how it overloads our minds with unproductive worry, often paralyzing us instead of propelling us toward peace.

Using relatable analogies like speed wobbles while snowboarding or a plane in distress, he illustrates how anxiety often signals a loss of perceived control. But rather than trying harder to manage what is beyond our grasp, we are called to submit under God's mighty hand, casting all our cares upon Him, because He cares for us.

Johnson reminds us that life is more than our careers, children, health, or finances—our highest calling is to glorify God. And that purpose cannot be taken from us, regardless of our circumstances. Through practical steps and spiritual truths, this message offers both comfort and conviction, helping believers redirect their focus from tomorrow’s worries to today’s obedience, from fear to faith, and from self-reliance to full surrender.

If you’ve been battling anxiety or looking to help others through it, this sermon is filled with biblical hope and encouragement for the weary soul.
