"When this is our mindset, we are thinking in the context of our human capabilities. Instead, we should be looking to the One who has control over everything." Thank you so much, Kate, for the reminder that God should be our source in every aspect of life. Thank you for making His word practical to our daily lives. May God bless!

I appreciate these reminders! I've been gripped by anxiety more often than usual in the past week, and you're speaking to my heart, friend!

I've had to re-read my own devotional as I have had extra anxiety this week too!

Love this! I can attest that what you recommend helps indeed! Have battled anxiety my whole life, but have learned to not let it go on unattended to.

Anxiety can be difficult because it's not a one and done thing. It's an ongoing struggle. Thanks so much for commenting, I appreciate hearing from you!

Absolutely! 365 we are told not to worry or be anxious in the Bible! Thats one for every day of the year, this shows that not only do we need not worry but that He knows that we will have times when we will. But He encourages us to lean into Him and trust that He has it all worked out. 🙌

Thanks so much for sharing that! You are right, He knew it would be a struggle for us to worry so He gave us plenty of instruction on it.

Love this! My favorite is #3: focusing on that which is above. Our hope is in Him, and He beckons us to steadily look up from the mire to who He is and where we’re going!

I love the song "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus," When we focus on Him, the world grows dim.

I love this. I think it's particularly hard for us to keep a thankful heart in difficult times and I pray every day for just that. I want to be able to thank the Lord for the lessons my difficult times and seasons of trials bring me, as well as all the rewards of the blessings He bestows on me at other times.

I like what you said. I think thankfulness is becoming lost among those who feel they are entitled to everything.
