Worrying is normal. However when it exceeds normal levels, it turns into anxiety, and this is far more severe. Anxiety can paralyze us and take over our lives. It can cloud our minds with hundreds of “What if?” questions that we automatically answer with the most negative options. In such times, we need someone to trust. It’s important to remember when negative thoughts take over that we can trust God to keep us safe and guide us on the right path. He is watching over all of us, and his goodness and mercy are our greatest comfort. When doing relaxation exercises meant to calm your anxiety, also try to meditate on these truths. If our minds get too overpowered with negativity, sometimes an external reminder can help. Write down Bible verses that comfort and bring peace in times of anxiety and put them somewhere visible for you to read over them every day.
