Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

I know everyone has a different look on church and religion. This morning I went to services and the sermon spoke to me. Pastor Steve was talking about Peter and when Jesus asked him to join him on the water. Peter was always looking down at the water and would lose his balance. But Jesus told him to look at him and he would find his footing. The pastor then parralleled it with our lives. If we would just look up and not at the "problems" lapping at our feet Jesus would help us too get through all the problems that we are having.
The sermon spoke to me. I hope with this little insight it speaks to you all too.

he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
I always think he wants us to focus on his love and concern for us all..yes, he will carry us through anything,and guide us..we have to have faith in him, and trust!
