Feeling Fear as you go into this New Year?

How do you feel about a new year? Hopeful? Excited? Maybe a bit pressured? Panicked? Or even full of dread? Part of me likes the fresh start, but part of me is always a bit afraid of the things that might happen in the year ahead. To be honest, I can sometimes find myself lookingContinue reading “Feeling Fear as you go into this New Year?”

Looking for the Unshakeable in a Shaking World?

What do you do when you face challenges? Big ones? Or even small ones? What do you do in times of change? What do you do when your world comes crashing down? When the world (and maybe your world) feels big and frightening and uncertain? Again and again, I’ve found that the Sunday School answersContinue reading “Looking for the Unshakeable in a Shaking World?”

Ever been up against something impossible? Something that no-one else seems able to fix? Something that it seems like can never change? Life can feel like that sometimes. On days when I struggle with OCD and anxiety, it can feel a bit like that sometimes. But the Lord has been encouraging me with this: “NowContinue reading “Impossible? Jesus Can”

When You Are Anxious

A friend and I were talking recently about anxiety. And how we can get caught up in tangles of negativity and fear. And how we can so often forget what God has told us. And how powerful it is when we remind ourselves of what He has said. About trusting in God’s promises, and remindingContinue reading “When You Are Anxious”
