When Anxiety Lessens, God’s Love Expands: My Journey of Understanding

Philippians 4:4-8 (NIV) reads:

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
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.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Recently, I took some time off from creating content, as my brain and my body needed a reset. On this episode, we explore the difference between fear and anxiety, as well as my recent struggle with the "What if" game and fear of the unknown.  I will also debunk a recent misconception regarding my former way of battling anxiety as a Christian and how the Word has completely changed my perspective for the better. 

In my faith journey, I have been blessed with so many fellow believes who impart so much wisdom upon my life that I can't help but go into the Word each time I am fixated on the terrors my fear and anxiety. 

I can't help but give thanks to Max Lucado: "Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World" as well as Jennie Allen: in her Restless series, Get out of your Head, and Untangle Your Emotions. These books have brought so much light and clarity into my (sometimes) chaotic brain. I invite you to check them out!
