I will share about Christian books I have read or listened to.
I will be sharing about my life before and after Christ. I will include stories about my pet and other pets I have encountered.
“And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. And he left all, rose up, and followed him. And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them. But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Luke 5:27-32 KJV

Fighting Fear and Trusting God
The list of things to think, worry, and debate about can feel endless: wars, viruses, finances, relationships, politics, religion, job security, natural disasters, the safety and wellbeing of our loved ones … the list could go on forever.
But Jesus told His disciples, who also had plenty to fear (death being at the top of the list)…
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.”
John 14:1 NLT
It’s a bold statement, but is it even possible to not be shaken by life’s circumstances? Jesus seemed to think so, because He said those words not long before He was nailed to a cross.
Jesus knew…
He's the source of true peace.
He's the source of real joy.
He's the source of freedom from worry.
Trusting in God doesn’t ensure an easy life, but it means we know He’s walking through life with us.
So how do we avoid getting stuck in a cycle of fear? How—practically—do we keep from getting overwhelmed with anxiety?
