When I’m most focused on my anxiety, I’m not in the Scriptures. I may be casually scrolling through the reading plan but not doing any type of self reflection. The Scriptures are clear that God is in charge. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, having great implications for our personal lives. We will never understand what is happening in the chaos and messiness of our world, but He does. The sooner we grasp the fact that He loves us beyond our imagination, the greater His presence in our anxieties.
“Followers of Christ are often called “the people of the book” because we believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the unique written revelation of God; the reality is that believers’ knowledge of Scripture is woefully inadequate.” - Greg Ogden, Transforming Discipleship
