A lot of times when we take our eyes off God, we leave room for anxiety to creep into our minds. Focusing on Jesus, especially when things are not going the way we expected, brings peace. Remembering that he gives us wisdom and direction through the Holy Spirit for handling any situation also eases anxiety. You may not know what to do, but knowing that God will guide you should give you peace. Pray for peace from God and then wait for his instruction. Sometimes that’s the only thing you need to do because God ends up working things out for you. While you wait on the Lord, focus on the things you’re thankful for and remember how God has helped you in the past.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27
