Day 5 of '30 Day Spiritual Journal Challenge'

Tuesday, September 5th: What is one thing that is stressing you out right now? How can you find rest in Jesus during this time? What other ways can you address the stress and eliminate it?


I have honestly felt like my hypochondria and anxiety is creeping up a little bit. It is very frustrating for me because I know I'm the only one that can fix the situation-- I'm the only one that can work with God Almighty and control my own mind. I have an issue where every time something hurts on my body, i instantly think the worst situation possible. It is very aggravating for me because when I feel like something is wrong, my anxiety increases as well leading to hyperventilation, etc. 

I HAVE TO REST IN JESUS.

He is the ONLY one that can fix my situation. Another human being can't fix my brain-- they can't rework it. It is only HIS peace that can heal this.

Psalms 4:8 says, "When I go to bed, I sleep in peace, because, Lord, you keep me safe."

And I keep trying to trust what He says in Psalms 85.

Psalms 85:8- "I heard what the Lord God said. He said there would be peace for his people and his loyal followers. So they must not go back to their foolish way of living." 

He said there would be PEACE for His people-- and if I am His child-- He promised I would have peace. I just have to trust...

as hard as that is for me some days!

When I feel anxiety creeping up lately, I have been trying to recenter myself. Get a hot bath, watch a comedy, lay down and read the Word, sing worship songs... whatever it takes to bring myself back to earth... back to a place of rest.
