Many of us struggle silently with anxiety and fear on a daily basis, and these emotions have a way of creeping into our thoughts and stealing our peace. The Bible just doesn’t ignore these feelings, but it addresses them repeatedly by offering divine strategies, words of comfort, and solid promises for those who are weary, anxious, and afraid. Most times we are gripped with fear of the unknown, whether it’s the uncertainty of the future, overwhelming responsibilities, unexpected loss, or a mind racing with the word “what ifs.” Jesus had assured us, “Let not your heart be troubled.” That’s why he gave us access to perfect peace, even in the middle of chaos.
