Our children still get cancer, our spouses still cheat, our homes get broken into, our cars break down, our bosses fire us, and our bills don\u2019t get paid.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are broken, and we live in a broken world, which is why it is so important to remember that God did not leave us to do this on our own. We have the gospel, and it gives us weapons to fight back against anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the Gospel?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The gospel is the \u201cgood news\u201d of Jesus that leads to salvation<\/span>. In order to understand the gospel better, it is helpful to not just read the New Testament, but to put it into context of the entire narrative of the Bible:<\/span><\/p>\n

Creation.\u00a0<\/b>God created the world and everything in it. He created man in His own likeness (Gen 1:26) and He blessed them and gave them dominion over everything on the earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fall<\/b>. When Adam and Eve rejected God\u2019s rule, sin entered the world. The result is physical and spiritual death (Genesis 2-3).<\/span><\/p>\n

Redemption<\/b>. God sent His Son, Jesus to rescue and redeem the world by dying on a cross to satisfy God\u2019s holy wrath against sin (John 3:16).<\/span><\/p>\n

Restoration<\/b>. One day Jesus will return to fully and finally restore all things (Revelation 21).<\/span><\/p>\n

We currently live amidst the brokenness of the fall, but with our eyes fixed on restoration. Jesus Christ has redeemed us, and we can live free from the weight of sin and eternal death \u2014 but on this side of heaven, we are still faced with the effects of that brokenness. Because of that, we can be anxious and afraid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is anxiety?<\/b><\/h3>\n

In its most basic definition, anxiety is the <\/span>natural human response to fear and potential threats, <\/b>designed to evoke a fight or flight response to get us out of danger. For most of our history, humans have been faced with life or death situations on a daily basis, and anxiety served a positive purpose in order to save you from wild animals, drought and disease, or starvation. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now, though, anxiety rules over many people who don’t face immediate life or death situations, but rather the fear that they might happen. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • is the most common mental illness, affecting\u00a0<\/span>18.1% <\/b>of the adult population<\/span><\/li>\n
  • is impacting younger people, affecting\u00a0<\/span>25% <\/b>of children ages 13-18<\/span><\/li>\n
  • is increasing overall; a survey by Time Magazine<\/em> found that <\/span>40% <\/b>of Americans say they are more anxious now than they were this time last year<\/span><\/li>\n
  • is driven by these three issues most:\u00a0<\/span>safety, health, and finances<\/b><\/li>\n
  • costs $<\/strong><\/span>300 <\/strong>billion<\/strong>\u00a0each year in medical bills and lost productivity<\/span><\/li>\n
  • is a huge drug market, with $<\/span>2.1 <\/b>billion spent annually on anti-anxiety meds<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Anxiety\u00a0and the Christian<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Anxiety is rooted in fear \u2014 the belief that God does not have the best for us and is not powerful enough to bring the best from all things. But we must remember: God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a01 John 4:13-19 puts fear into context within God\u2019s love for us:<\/span><\/p>\n

    This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. <\/span><\/i>And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. <\/span><\/i>If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/i>And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

    God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

    To summarize: God has given us His <\/span>Spirit,\u00a0<\/b>if we <\/span>confess <\/b>that Jesus is the Son of God. God is <\/span>love<\/b>, and there is no <\/span>fear <\/b>in love; because, fear has to do with punishment. Jesus <\/span>accepted <\/b>the punishment we deserve. Perfect love <\/span>casts <\/b>out fear \u2014 if we are in Christ, the victory is ours. Sin and death have already been defeated. We know the brokenness of this world will not last forever, because someday everything will be <\/span>restored.<\/b><\/p>\n

    It is in His love for us that we will feel safe and secure. <\/strong>God did not promise us that we would be free from trouble. In fact, John 16:33 says, \u201cIn this world you will have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world.\u201d However, He did promise to be an ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). It helps to understand the root of your fear so you can ask Him honestly to help.<\/span><\/p>\n

    So what is it for you, then?\u00a0What are some things that make you anxious, and how does it manifest itself in your life? Is it a fear of:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Losing control? Or realizing you were never in control? <\/span><\/li>\n
    • Pain and suffering? <\/span><\/li>\n
    • Dying or losing a loved one too soon? <\/span><\/li>\n
    • A past event that haunts you?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Experiences straight out of hell? <\/span><\/li>\n
    • Being known and rejected? <\/span><\/li>\n
    • Not being good enough or worthy of love?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Identify your fears, and you can face them with powerful spiritual weapons. “For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh” (2 Corinthians 10:3).<\/p>\n

      As believers, we are not exempt from the brokenness of this world, but we can be equipped with something more than just what we find within ourselves. It is crucial to remember we are fighting a spiritual battle, and we need to be equipped with spiritual weapons.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Satan wants us to be occupied with what can happen \u2014 fear lies in the unknown \u2014 but that is only half the story. We may not know what will happen next, but there is One who does \u2014 and this One is the Lord and Creator of the Earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

      We are not alone in this. Not only did He send His son to walk the earth and give us an example of how to live, but also He gives us His living Word that transcends time to guide us and speak to us. And most importantly. He left Himself with us \u2014 the Holy Spirit \u2014to be alive in us no matter where we go or what we do.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Sometimes offering up your anxiety in persistent prayer to the Lord is enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Sometimes meditating on His Word and celebrating who God is and what He has done in your life is enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Sometimes, anxiety is the Lord\u2019s way of drawing you back to Him, reminding you of your need for His peace and comfort that surpasses all understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Sometimes, He brings along Biblical counsel \u2014 someone who can work with you to uncover those roots and point you back to Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Sometimes, you continually do all of the above and still find yourself clouded with anxious thoughts. This is a battle that might not be won on this side of heaven, and because of the evil and brokenness of this world, your anxiety might have roots that are deeper than you can see. Keep fighting. <\/span><\/p>\n

      There is no one path to overcoming anxiety, because overcoming anxiety is not a promise for this life. The good news is that someday we will be home, where anxiety cannot exist, because there will be no more brokenness. So we wait in expectation for that glorious day, and in the meantime, we remember we are not fighting this battle alone.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
