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.
“Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.”
Ecclesiastes 7:11-14 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?
