Welcome to day one of our track, From Anxiety to Intimacy. Today, Ben Stuart shares his personal experience with anxiety and asks how we move from the world's anxiety to intimacy with God?
And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you. “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Luke 12:29-32
We can be comforted by these words of scripture when we’re feeling anxious, understanding that intimacy with God is the ultimate remedy to anxiety.
So, let’s start by just processing these words that God has given us.
Summary
Anxiety does have power.
It can even impactsus physically.
In this Track, we will look Biblically at anxiety in the world and intimacy with God.
Matthew 6:25-34: Jesus presents anxiety as one of the greatest impediments to our God-given destiny. Anxiety gets in the way of us seeking the Kingdom.
Luke 8:11-15: In the parable of the sower, Jesus says there is a soil that the seed grows well in, but is then choked out by weeds. He calls one of the weeds the worries of this life. His point is that worry chokes out life.
Luke 10:39-42: Martha was anxious about many things and getting annoyed with people around her. She was so focused on her anxiety that she was missing the major thing...the Messiah was right in front of her.
Luke 12:29-32: It's God's pleasure to give us the Kingdom. Be comforted by these words.
Jesus addresses us as a little flock. We are sheep in need of a Shepherd, and He longs to care for us.
What's next?
Today, open a dialogue with God about your anxiety with a simple prayer. Ask him to move along with you from anxiety to intimacy. Intimacy with God is the remedy to anxiety in the world.
