In My Anxiety


Psalm 116:7-11
Let my soul be at rest again,
    for the Lord has been good to me.
He has saved me from death,
    my eyes from tears,
    my feet from stumbling.
And so I walk in the Lord’s presence
    as I live here on earth!
I believed in you, so I said,
    “I am deeply troubled, Lord.”
In my anxiety I cried out to you,
    “These people are all liars!”


In David’s train of thought here, he tells what he did last and begins the passage with what God did. Usually he does it the other way around and cries out to God first and then pumps the reader up with a description of God’s response.

    “I am deeply troubled, Lord.”
In my anxiety I cried out to you...
This is what to do with my anxiety too – tell God about it. David doesn’t mix this with any other action on his part. He talks to God when he is troubled. It’s so simple! And God’s response to such a simple action is contrastingly complex and amazing!

He has saved me from death,
    my eyes from tears,
    my feet from stumbling...
This is what God does for those who love and trust him when they simply talk to him about their troubles and anxiety! I love the picture presented here knowing that there are tears I have never cried because God spared me ahead of time. There is trouble I haven’t gotten into because he spared me ahead of time. And best of all, he has spared me ahead of time from death and eternal punishment because he loves those who love and trust in his Son, Jesus and simply talk with him.
​
Dear God,
I thank you that I can tell you plainly what bothers me today, meaningless or desperate, without putting any pressure on myself to come up with solutions. Your powerful intervention is evident in my life – and those are just the ones of which I am aware. You have saved me and are continually saving me and I am so thankful. I love you and pray in Jesus’ name, amen.

Lately I’ve been feeling weary. The college has a way of doing this and I always would talk about it to my friends. Yes, they listen, but I get the feelings that they take these anxiety attacks of mine lightly. So I tried talking to God again. Suddenly, all of the fears and dark thoughts that would loom over me are gone. There are times where they would come back, but all I would do is visit the chapels and after a while I feel better. It’s true, we must always put our faith in the Lord and remind us that he loves us. All we need to do is constantly communicating with him, love him, and trust him.
