Wow, bring it, sister! This was fresh for me: So Jesus isn’t saying, “Don’t feel anxious ever.” He’s saying, “Don’t let your heart get pulled in opposite directions—split between trust in God and the pressure to secure everything yourself.”
Thank you! I'll be mulling this over for a long time! So deep and rich here today!
I need to read this on repeat. As one who struggles with anxiety, I have often questioned my own faith as if to say, "If I truly trust in God, then how can I be anxious?" But having anxiety does not equate with a lack of trust in God. Instead, it is that pulling in opposite directions you wrote about here. Such solid truth, Kristen! Thank you for sharing.

I agree with Stacey I need to sit with this now.
