What Anxiety?

Wow it has been forever since my last post!!
I always feel like I have nothing interesting to write about, so I never post anything. Maybe its because no one reads my blog....hmmm.
In that case I guess I can say anything I want.
I was talking to my best friend the other day about Jesus. We were discussing how God does not want us to be in a state of anxiety, and fear. I love that about Him! Looking at all other religions, one will find the opposite. They are all covered, and rooted in fear. whether it be dying, or some future event that is out of your control. Jesus has declared our freedom from these things! Live in that freedom! I have to be reminded of this daily. It is difficult to trust God for everything, but when I do I am never sorry or displeased. I always find that His way is much better than my stupid plan. He has it under control.
This is one of my favorite Bible verses:

"I sought the Lord, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces will never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them."
Psalm 34:4-7
