Episode 136 - Anxious for Nothing

I want to suggest something to you this week about the storms of anxiety in your life and the waves and the winds that are blowing in your life, because the winds will blow, and the waves will break, and they will crash.

And in those times when Jesus is sleeping in the stern and He doesn't take action and He doesn't fix your situation, it can be easy to deduce what the disciples deduced “We're gonna die and God doesn't even care!” Start playing it out all the way to the end, this is how I'm gonna die right here! This is how it’s going to end right here! I'm never gonna get another job, I’m worthless!

And they're anxious for nothing because they eventually got to the other side. And I wondered all week why would Jesus send them into a storm? Just like we wonder in our lives why doesn't God do more about the chaos in our world? Why doesn’t He fix situations before they get that bad? We celebrate when God heals somebody of cancer, but silently we wonder why did they have to have cancer to begin with? We celebrate when somebody's kid comes back to God, but we wonder then why did God let the kid wander away to begin with? We celebrate that somebody went to Heaven, but we wonder why did God have to make it so that people die and we feel pain and sorrow. Doesn't He care?

This week we continue and finish our two-part series on anxiety. You can visit my website at www.connectingthegap.net for anything related to the podcast. Please subscribe and share and I pray you have a blessed week!
