1.) Scripture Psalms 63:1‭-‬8 O God, you are my God, and I long for you. My whole being desires you; like a dry, worn-out, and waterless land, my soul is thirsty for you.  Let me see you in the sanctuary; let me see how mighty and glorious you are.  Your constant love is better than life itself, and so I will praise you.  I will give you thanks as long as I live; I will raise my hands to you in prayer.  My soul will feast and be satisfied, and I will sing glad songs of praise to you.  As I lie in bed, I remember you; all night long I think of you,  because you have always been my help. In the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.  I cling to you, and your hand keeps me safe. Exodus 6:7 I will make you my own people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am the LORD your God when I set you free from slavery in Egypt. Deuteronomy 26:8 By his great power and strength he rescued us from Egypt. He worked miracles and wonders, and cau...

1.) Scripture 1 Corinthians 2:10‭-‬12 But it was to us that God made known his secret by means of his Spirit. The Spirit searches everything, even the hidden depths of God's purposes. It is only the spirit within people that knows all about them; in the same way, only God's Spirit knows all about God. We have not received this world's spirit; instead, we have received the Spirit sent by God, so that we may know all that God has given us. John 1:1‭-‬3 In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God. From the very beginning the Word was with God. Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him. Romans 8:9‭-‬11 But you do not live as your human nature tells you to; instead, you live as the Spirit tells you to — if, in fact, God's Spirit lives in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ lives in you, the Spirit is life for yo...

Anxiety To Peace 1.) Scripture Psalms 23:4 Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, LORD , for you are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me. Psalms 34:4 I prayed to the LORD , and he answered me; he freed me from all my fears. The Deepest Pit Can Not Consume Me If you struggle with worry or stress has its grip on you, then you are on a path I have walked. From time to time, this path still emerges and beckons me down it’s shadowy corridor. But now, I have employed solid, daily practices that have helped me not to be gripped by anxiety. I first dealt with acute anxiety and panic during a challenging season years ago while living in a foreign country. I was trying to learn a new language, start a business, be the light of Christ where there was virtually no church present, and father twin, one-year-old boys with my wife. I felt like I was slowly descending into a dark valley.  Over the course of several months, I suffered from chest ...
