“Fear not,” the Scriptures tell us repeatedly. These may seem like trite words—easy solutions. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, 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” (Philippians 4:6-7). Wow! These are powerful tools to anxiety. Are you looking to God to calm your inner fears?
