Anxiety is a result of envisioning the
future without Me. So the best defense against worry is staying in
communication with Me. When you turn your thoughts toward Me, you can
think much more positively. Remember to listen, as well as to speak,
making your thoughts a dialogue with Me.
If you must consider upcoming events, follow these rules: 1) Do not
linger in the future, because anxieties sprout up like mushrooms when you
wander there. 2) Remember the promise of My continual Presence; include
Me in any imagery that comes to mind. This mental discipline does not
come easily, because you are accustomed to being god of your fantasies.
However, the reality of My Presence with you, now and forevermore,
outshines any fantasy you could ever imagine.
Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry
about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.
Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider
the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet
God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who
of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do
this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” Luke 12:22–26
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church
and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Ephesians
3:20-21
