When Anxiety and Fear Press In

“What if, instead of torturing ourselves by getting on every fear ride and daydreaming about all the bad things that might result from our current reality, we used our imagination to visualize what God has said is true in his Word? Jesus is present with us, and he loves us. What if we imagined him lovingly sitting with us in our kitchen as we struggle to manage three active children, holding us on the couch as we walk through the disappointment of another argument with our husband, comforting us with his kindness when we get the scary phone call? Jesus’ love for us is what is real, not the stories we spin in our fear. What if we daydreamed about that?” - When Anxiety and Fear Press In by Hope Blanton and Chris Gordon
