ANXIETY

Craig Harrison's Coffee with Jesus reflections provide a healthy cup of daily inspiration to start your day. Cover art by

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I have been thinking a lot about anxiety people can experience.  I have always been a worrier, or I should say I used to be one!  I try to practice daily surrendering, surrendering my day to the Lord, asking for HIS guidance, and then, throughout the day, trusting in HIS plan.

One of my favorite quotes is from Norman Vincent Peale, “ Worrying is accepting responsibility God never intended you to have!”  Sometimes we have to actively remove worry from our lives. This is where prayer comes in.  We must turn to God and give GOD our concerns and worries.  It takes practice, but the Holy Spirit will help!

So, today with everything that’s going on, there is nothing to worry about because JESUS is still the KING of KINGS.  We are GOD’S children.  GOD gave us JESUS, who gave HIS life for us, and all we have to do is trust, TRUST IN HIM!

Good & a reminder I needed. Craig O’Neill was pastor at St. Philip’s he did a series on worry & anxiety. On the last Sunday this was his homily. When you give your worries to God and then grab them back you are basically telling God you don’t trust Him to take care of you. That was it. It really spoke to me at the time. It still does. I forget sometimes!
