From Anxiety to Delight

From Anxiety to DelightFear NotSome time ago, the tagline for Cultivate Connection began with “Most people are stressed and struggle to connect with God.” That stressed part has since been removed, but it’s not to say stress no longer exists. Each of us has likely experienced stress at one point or another in our lives.We can turn to many things in our attempt to reduce stress; food, alcohol, television, sports, hobbies, etc. While some of these are better than others, there’s only one thing, one person actually, who brings peace to any storm you may be facing. That person is God. Whenever my busy thoughts were out of control, the soothing comfort of your presence calmed me down and overwhelmed me with delight. - Psalm 94:19 (TPT) Anxious fear brings depression, but a life-giving word of encouragement can do wonders to restore joy to the heart. - Proverbs 12:25 (TPT) How do you connect with God when you’re feeling anxious? What is that experience like? We hope this episode provides the encouragement you need to turn to Him the next time you see a storm brewing on the horizon.Blessings and peace to you!Thank You!Becoming a PatronIf you are one of the many who have been blessed by Cultivate Connection, please consider becoming a monthly patron.
