325. God is the source of peace and hope when navigating anxiety. Friday Faith Foundations

What is your source when making decisions? There's one source that's much more powerful than any other.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. If you have been listening to the show for a while, you know that I am very passionate about mental health. And one thing I've learned over the years is that God is the source of peace and hope when navigating anxiety.

I've had anxiety my entire life, and so have several members of my family. It's hard to overcome completely, but it is something that you learn to navigate. God has been my source of peace over the years.

Does anxiety go away?

I'm not convinced that anxiety ever completely goes away. However, you can learn to live with purpose, meaning, joy, and peace despite fear and anxiety.

This is why I think increasing awareness of mental health is so important. Doing so will also help people experience more peace because they know they are not alone.

Navigating anxiety takes hard work; it is not one-and-done, and it is not popping a pill, and you are better. Navigating a mental journey requires daily work to transform your mind. Your mental health healing journey takes time, effort, energy, and focus.

Through prayer and scripture, God is the source of peace and hope when navigating anxiety.

Colossians 3:2-3 reads, "Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth, for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

The phrase "you have died" means that we have given up our desires to be like the earth and the people on the earth. We now look to God as our strength, wisdom, and knowledge source. And to Jesus and the Holy Spirit, who are in us as believers. Through them, we will find peace, navigate anxiety, and learn to transform our minds.

Our minds are part of our souls, including our emotions, thoughts, and conscience. God created them so intricately that, as Romans 12:2 reminds us, we can change the neuro pathways by transforming our minds.

Look up; look beyond the earth because God is the source of peace and hope when navigating anxiety. Read the full show notes and access all links.
