Christmas Anxiety

Okay....only 13 days left until Christmas! How are you doing with your grown-up Christmas list? I pray that you have been able to listen to the messages, take them to heart and then make some practical lifestyle changes.

How is your anxiety level?

I read yesterday that this time of year is the highest for depression and anxiety. Doesn't that sound crazy? It is crazy that during this wonderful time of year people stress themselves out and allow themselves to get all worked up.

As I said on Sunday, we can achieve true contentment by accepting Jesus Christ as Savior, truly believing the fact that He accepts us and loves us unconditionally. Moreover, we can rest peacefully each night even in the midst of relational, financial and other storms that we may be passing through.

Do you truly believe that God loves you unconditionally? Do you believe that he will take care of you and your family? Do you really trust Him with your life? Do you trust Him with your finances? Do you truly believe that God can take care of you come January?

If so, then relax.....and rest in his safe, strong and loving arms.

This is the message of Christmas....Unto us a Savior has been born. If we allow Him to be to us what the Angels declared that he desires to be......we can sleep in heavenly peace...every night.

1 Peter 5:6-7 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
