“Eleva tu mirada. No te pierdas en tus problemas. Atrévete a creer que pasarán cosas buenas. Atrévete a creer que Dios te estaba hablando cuando dijo: «Y sabemos que a los que aman a Dios, todas las cosas les ayudan a bien» (Romanos 8.28). La mente no puede estar llena de Dios y llena de temor al mismo tiempo. «¡Tú guardarás en perfecta paz a todos los que confían en ti; a todos los que concentran en ti sus pensamientos!» (Isaías 26.3, NTV). ¿Estás preocupado, intranquilo, desvelado? Entonces, alégrate en la soberanía del Señor. Te reto —te reto por partida doble— a que expongas tus preocupaciones a una hora de adoración. Tus inquietudes se derretirán como el hielo en una acera en pleno verano.”

“The gentle reaction is one of steadiness, evenhandedness, fairness. It “looks humanely and reasonably at the facts of a case.”3 Its opposite would be an overreaction or a sense of panic. This gentleness is “evident to all.” Family members take note. Your friends sense a difference. Coworkers benefit from it. Others may freak out or run out, but the gentle person is sober minded and clear thinking. Contagiously calm.”

Not only do we feel anxious, but we also feel guilty about our anxiety! The result is a downward spiral of worry, guilt, worry, guilt. It’s enough to cause a person to get anxious.”
