Anxiety is a thief. It steals from the Lord and from God’s children. Anxiety steals the truth about God’s desire and ability to provide and the glory and thanksgiving that is due Him as Provider. It robs the child of God of confidence in the Lord and spoils the fruit of the Spirit in his/her life. Anxiety would drive us away from Our Father’s house and enslave us once again to the sinful nature. Our best defense is the good offense of seeking God. “Prayer and supplication with thanks giving” brings our Father to our side to drive this thief from our hearts and minds. By seeking His kingdom, we invoke His Almightiness on our behalf. By seeking His righteousness, we avail ourselves of His authority and favor, given us through Jesus Christ Our Lord. The world is driven by anxiety but Christians are not of this world. We have been born anew, given citizenship in God’s kingdom and, as earnest for better to come, the Holy Spirit of God Who provides us with “love, power and a sound mind.” Since God is our Provider, whom shall we fear?
