When You are Anxious

When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.

Psalm 94:18-19 (New International Version)
 

Anxiety and depression are at an all-time high. We are simultaneously more together through social media yet isolated. If feels like we are collectively slipping into a state of being that is unknown but feels ominous. The psalmist stated, “my foot is slipping.” It was not even a fully formed prayer, more just a statement of fact, yet God was there for him, and God will be there for us. When we may not know the words to form a perfect prayer, just state your condition for God already knows our needs. Ask God for help and trust that God will bring us not only consolation but also joy!
