TODAY’S WORD
David was the warrior king who defeated Goliath and led the Israelites into great victories. But in today’s Scripture, David was so overwhelmed with serious anxiety that he was shaking. Dealing with anxiety doesn’t mean that you’re weak, that you don’t have enough faith, or that you must have done something wrong. The enemy attacks you with anxiety because he knows there’s greatness in you, that you’re on the verge of seeing a new level. He’ll try to make you feel overwhelmed, fearful about the future, thinking it’s not going to work out.
As with David, thoughts will tell you, “This anxiety is never going to change. You’ll always have to deal with this feeling that something is wrong.” Don’t believe those lies. The anxiety shall pass. Sometimes God will bring you out quickly. Other times He’ll take you little by little. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see anything changing. God is working. Every day you need to declare, “I’m getting better. My mind is at peace. My heart is at rest. I am free from this anxiety.”
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that Your strength in difficult times is the source of my security. I refuse to be overwhelmed by problems because You will bring me through to victory. I declare that I am resting in the Almighty God who is greater than anything I face. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
