I love going through promises the Bible gives us when we go through what could be anxious times; one of my favorites is in Isaiah 41:10-
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
It's just amazing just how many people are going through some tremendous stress in there lives. I hear story after story, but there is some good news.
I grew up to the sounds of my dad magically touching the ivory's of an 1800's finely tuned Steinway Grand piano. To get to the point where it sounds it's best requires a good 11 tons of pressure and stress in order to get it to it's sweetest sound. The stress causes the wood to mold and transform to the makers desire for it.
For us it's the same. Our Maker looks at each of us as a fine-tuned Steinway Grand. All of us begin as rough wood that He desires to transform and tune. Many times, these experiences stretch our faith, our families, our frame. Many times it may feel like we just can't handle the stress, and that's when the anxiety sets in...just know it's part of the process and dwell on the promises we've been given.
