Ep 282 Peace For the Anxious Soul with Becky Keife

Becky writes:

“For years, I thought my anxiety meant I was failing God--I believed if I just prayed harder, trusted more, or worked smarter, I could fix it. But I learned that Jesus isn’t asking me to prove anything—He’s inviting me to come, just as I am.”

The theme of today's podcast is we can have peace in anxiety because we are not alone; Jesus is with us. Be encouraged as you listen and share with someone who may need this timely reminder.

Some gems from today's podcast:

I'm so prone to striving; peace comes from knowing Jesus is carrying the weight and leading the way forward.

Often anxiety stems from feelings of not having enough or not being enough.

My anxiety is a gift in the way God has used it as a vehicle for him to draw me closer to himself.

This book came from the message God had been writing in me for years.

Anxiety is a continuum from everyday fears to debilitating stress and worry.

We need to go for support when our anxiety hits one of these two aspects: How severe? and How persistent?

Self-care is not selfish.

You can know that the way you feel today is not always going to feel this way.
