Anxiety & worry wears us down…both mentally, physically, and spiritually. We fret & stew over things we seldom have any control over, allowing anxiety to compound the situation. Too often, we spend our time worrying about what’s going to happen next…forgetting to even enjoy what’s in the here & now. So, what’s the antidote for chronic worrying? It’s gratitude in your heart. (Colossians 3:16) It’s switching out every anxious thought for one of thankfulness as we reflect on what God has done for us in the past. By remembering God’s works it becomes much more than simply recalling what they were – it means reacting to said memories with renewed faith, obedience and resolute praise…for worry can’t dwell in a heart full of thanksgiving.
