Back to EpisodesEP#350: Releasing Anxiety to God - How to Bring Your Feelings to God
Description
From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about a practice for anxious days.
If anxiety has been your constant companion lately, this episode is for you. Jen walks through two powerful scripture passages to show that God doesn't ask you to get it together before drawing near — he meets you right in the middle of the worry, the tight chest, and the spiraling thoughts. A grounding, faith-based reflection for anyone who needs a reminder that anxious feelings are an invitation, not a barrier.
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!
Verse
Luke 10:38–42
"As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” 41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
Psalms 94:16-19
16 "Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
17 Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
19 When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy."
Question
God, what can I notice in my body? What can I notice here physically as I release this anxiety to you in your presence?
