CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON ME

"Unless you deal with it properly, anxiety can be toxic—both to you and to others.

Simply releasing it is not sufficient.

You need to project it vigorously away from yourself, toward Me.

Consider the following illustration: If you accidentally pulled the pin out of a hand grenade, you would not hold onto the grenade or drop it near your feet.

Nor would you pitch it to another person.

You would throw it as far away as possible from yourself and others.

When you cast your anxiety on Me, I remove it so far away that it cannot harm anyone.

In fact, I delight in doing this very thing, because I care for you so compassionately.

Ever since the Fall, human emotions have been out of kilter.

People often "act out" painful feelings without even realizing what is bothering them.

Or they may bottle up their emotions and pretend everything is all right.

I urge you to be self-controlled and alert so you can identify hurtful feelings and confess them to Me.

Ask the Holy Spirit to help you with this.

As you yield to His work within you, your anxious feelings will subside.

My Spirit can accomplish holy changes in you—producing Love, Joy, Peace . . . and self-control."

From " Jesus Lives " by Sarah Young

Stay Strong!

"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert."
1 PETER 5:7–8

"Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones." ISAIAH 49:13

"You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ."
ROMANS 8:9

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.' GALATIANS 5:22–23 NKJV
