“The first great and primary business . . . every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord.” –George Mueller

Is it possible to be at peace with yourself? Our hearts and minds are under siege with a global pandemic, quarantines, closures, lost jobs, financial hardships, social unrest, and general uncertainty. Everyone seems to be struggling with something heavy right now. Mentally and emotionally we are a powder keg just waiting for the spark and, as the fuse burns, we could explode at any moment. 

Peace is a spiritual issue, but there are accompanying physical signs when it comes to anxiety as well: unusual mood swings, irritability, anger, sweating, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, exhaustion, nervous twitching, decreased concentration and memory, nausea, shortness of breath, hair loss, weight gain or loss, panic, indecisiveness, canker sores, muscle tension, insomnia, and high blood pressure to name a few. The struggle is real. 

What should we do about anxiety? God gifts us with a guardian and an antidote for anxiety.
