Dear Anxiety:

God will give me everything I need if I seek His kingdom above all else. Matthew 6:33 NLT says “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.” You have been telling me to worry and be anxious since I was 9 years old. That is 28 years of anxiety and worry. I just want to let you know that I am not going to let you control me anymore. I am not going to allow you to make my decisions for me anymore. I am not going to be too scared to dream big God-dreams and to believe that God will bring them to pass when it’s the right time. Today I am taking God at His word. We both know God doesn’t lie and that His word is true. We both know that God will help me to obey His word. So I am putting you on notice: I plan to believe God and to doubt you from this day forward. Just get ready to see what God will do in my life when I trust and depend on Him completely.
