Anxiety and fear are cousins but not twins. Fear sees a threat. Anxiety imagines one.
God gives us people to love and things to use, not things to love and people to use.
Your goal is not to know every detail of the future. Your goal is to hold the hand of the One who does and never, ever let go.
Be patient. God is using today's difficulties to strengthen you for tomorrow. He is equipping you. The God who makes things grow will help you bear fruit.
The presence of fear does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. But make your fear a visitor and not a resident.
You have a God who hears you, the power of love behind you, the Holy Spirit within you, and all of heaven ahead of you. If you have the Shepherd, you have grace for every sin, direction for every turn, a candle for every corner and an anchor for every storm. You have everything you need.
For all its peculiarities and unevenness, the Bible has a simple story. God made man. Man rejected God. God won't give up until he wins him back. God will whisper. He will shout. He will touch and tug. He will take away our burdens; he'll even take away our blessings. If there are a thousand steps between us and him, he will take all but one. But he will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours. Please understand. His goal is not to make you happy. His goal is to make you His. His goal is not to get you what you want; it is to get you what you need.
God has enough grace to solve every dilemma you face, wipe every tear you cry, and answer every question you ask.
Trust God's love. His perfect love. Don't fear He will discover your past. He already has. Don't fear disappointing Him in the future. He can show you the chapter in which you will. With perfect knowledge of the past and perfect vision of the future, He loves you perfectly in spite of both.
Stay strong! Your test will become your test-imony, your mess will become your mess-age.
