It's such a pervasive enemy, because it's such a "peace-stealer."<br /><br />But God is there...every step, every moment...saying, "Be still."<br /><br />One of my favorite fear-busters (from the Amplified translation):<br /><br />"Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns], once and for all on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully." (1 Peter 5:7)<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200933753797129224.post-23827165461230036582010-11-02T19:58:28.725-04:002010-11-02T19:58:28.725-04:00I am so glad I stopped by for a visit tonight.

I can always use a reminder of His care and His ability to take care of us. He not only wants to, but He can! Thanks for sharing! Hope that you all are good.

I am doi...Love your heart and love the scriptures! I am doing Breaking Free with Beth Moore right now and it is primarily a study of Isaiah. I am growing to really love this book of the Bible.<br /><br />I understand about what you mentioned on my blog. I have thought the same thing but for right now, feel called to keep going. <br /><br />Praying for your anxiety to be lifted! I would still love to meet up with you sometime in Indy. I know it is about to get busy but perhaps we can figure out a time? <br /><br />Hope your day is a wonderful one filled with His peace.<br /><br />Natalie at Mommy on Fire<br />http://www.mommyonfire.comNataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928624311390512795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200933753797129224.post-8561182150104434122010-11-01T11:55:37.402-04:002010-11-01T11:55:37.402-04:00What a terrific idea.

But I love the idea of taking verses from the bible and meditating on them. (I think I'm going to go home and dig through my hope chest and see if my journal ended up in there though) Hope you have a terrific week.MamaMonkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13949599723947973014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200933753797129224.post-8510240920085628962010-11-01T10:26:12.822-04:002010-11-01T10:26:12.822-04:00i've been besieged by depression lately and i ...i've been besieged by depression lately and i imagine that's a close cousin of anxiety. <br />and there, your first verse, is MY life verse, one i haven't thought of in far too long!!!! i'm determined to get it tattooed somewhere so i can't forget not to cling to all my horses and chariots and instead cling to my God!!! <br />thank you so much for sharing here, b/cs i needed the reminder. and for that i'm glad he allowed you the anxiety so you would reseek his promises to be faithful!Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971852036197350639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200933753797129224.post-69773321724122947532010-11-01T09:50:01.689-04:002010-11-01T09:50:01.689-04:00His words speak truth, don't they?

I've been there so many times... <br /><br />My favorite truth words in times of anxiety--written in my Bible cover almost 20 years ago--is Isaiah 2:22--"Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?" <br /><br />Praying that He would lift the weight of anxiety today as you choose to trust His good words.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05916791019186092690noreply@blogger.com
