Pastor Steven Furtik recently preached a powerful sermon on anxiety. It was almost like the sermon was written just for me, at just this time. I encourage you to listen to the message by clicking

Pastor Steven states that the dysfunction of anxiety reveals what I truly believe about God . In his words, "when you are scrambling like God doesn't know your situation, that's sin." Ouch!
God is NOT...
- incompetent
- forgetful
- indifferent
He used the examples of Abraham (Genesis 15:1-4) and Hannah (I Samuel 1:10-11) from the Bible. They both had the same desire - they wanted a son. They each had a different response. One trusted God fully to meet the need, the other had doubts. In the end, God has the power to change...remembers...and cares...about our circumstances. He gave both Abraham and Hannah a son, as promised.
Do you truly believe that God is able, faithful and cares for you?Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 4:6-7
