The Only Impression That Matters - #5982
There's something very wrong if you're using Jesus to make a name for yourself or to impress other people with you. You are actually hijacking His glory. And there's something wrong if you're not telling people about Jesus because of something about you. It's not who's doing the telling that's the issue; it's who you're telling about - the One who offers the greatest love in the world.

Anxiety in the Bible: Philippians 4:6-7
We're all familiar with stress and anxiety--they're part of everyday life, and we're always on the lookout for ways to reduce them. The Bible has a startingly simple solution for anxiety: trust in God, and find your anxiety replaced by a spiritual peace beyond anything you've experienced.

"Tomorrow" in the Bible: Matthew 6:34
Christians are frequently encouraged in the Bible not to be weighed down by worry, but to trust God to help them handle whatever challenges life throws at them. Here, we are told not to worry about future events that are beyond our control, but to concentrate on the present.

Care in the Bible: 1 Peter 5:7
When we're feeling overwhelmed with stress, we're encouraged to "cast our anxiety" (sometimes translated "cares") on God. He's not a stern judge waiting for us to break under our worries; He actively wants to help carry our burdens.

Garbage Where it Doesn't Belong - #5818
Bring your complaints straight to God. First, He's not going to be hurt by them. He's not going to be poisoned by them like the people around you will. Secondly, He can do something about your complaints much more than the people around you can do.

The Most Off-Key Chorus Of All - #5718
He wants to help you and me handle the moments when we just want to think about ourselves. It's at those times when I'm really tired, when I'm really stressed, when I'm really not feeling good, that I have to reach beyond my feelings and say, "Dear Lord, give me the grace to still think about others when I feel like just thinking about me."

Stress in the Bible: Matthew 6:27
We've all experienced stress and worry, and sometimes it feels utterly crippling. Jesus invites us to look at our worries from a different perspective. What tangible good will come of stress and worry? If our worry isn't helping to solve our problem, perhaps it's time to let it go.

Anxiety in the Bible: Matthew 6:26-34
Worry and anxiety are natural human impulses, but this passage asks us if we are focusing our mental energy on the right things. Why waste out time worrying about passing matters when God has promised to take care of us?
