peace > anxiety


Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
- Philippians 4:4-9

Peace is greater than anxiety.
HA.
That being said by someone who actually lets anxiety stop her from doing a lot of things.
I have been learning to examine why things freak me out, and face those things, I have been forcing myself to do things that would put me in a panic attack not so long ago.
I pray – a lot – before I walk into a store alone, I pray while I am in there and I thank God when I walk out!
In every situation, I bring it to Him.
And the God of peace is indeed with me.
