In today’s modern world we are confronted by change on every side, and the pace of that change can seem overwhelming at times, yet the real challenge isn’t recognizing the individual changes, or reacting quickly to today’s problems, the greatest difficulty for us is in coping with the anxiety and worry that comes along with them. We know that scripture tells us not to worry, and to find peace in Christ, and yet despite this promise, we often can’t seem to escape these feelings. The tightness in our chest remains, the hopelessness courses through us, and the fear causes us to feel massive releases of adrenaline; all of which work together over an extended time to harm us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. So how do we overcome these difficulties, and find the promised calm and peace again?

As human beings we all experience fear or sadness on occasion, but it is not good for us to remain this way for any length of time. Digging into a few causes of these emotions we find that sadness can come as the result of many things such as lost love, disappointment, or abandonment, and fear from feeling insecurity, helplessness, or a sense of being overwhelmed by life and threatening circumstances, but God is our solution to them all. When we find ourselves unable to overcome, or cope, with these unwanted feelings, then we need to remember that God has invited us to turn to Him. Our trust in Him is the key to reclaiming our joy, happiness, and the healthy feelings of peace and security, once again.
