Anxiety A tidal wave Pain showing through the cracks of my heart Can’t think, can’t breathe yet breathing too much Can’t speak, yet speaking incessantly Grasping for sanity, for peace, for air My heart pounding like a bass drum Can’t catch my breath, fix myself, calm these nerves Yet through the chaos, tears, torrential fear, He whispers: BE STILL Fear not, My beloved, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are Mine This moment will pass, A breath in light of eternity Though you can’t see, the end is coming I will calm your clenched fists, your clenched heart Cling to Me, and I will give your soul rest Rest • Amanda Rose Have there been times in your life when you’ve experienced anxiety? If you experience anxiety, who is a trusted Christian in your life you can talk with about it? How does anxiety distort the way you see God or yourself? Next time you feel anxious, how can you find rest in the fact that, in Christ, you belong to God (Isaiah 43:1)? Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Psalm 46:10 (NKJV)
