Give your anxieties and worries to God

Why be anxious in life? Problems come to each and every one of us sometime or the other. The important thing to remember is to have faith that you are never alone. God is with you through your problems. Just as we read about in the Bible when there was a storm in the Sea of Galilee and Jesus slept in the rear of the boat as the disciples got scared and thought they were going to sink. They woke him up and said, "Don't you care?" (Mark 4:35-41). Jesus rebuked the storm by saying "Peace. Be still." Immediately, the storm calmed. He then asked his disciples, "Why are you so afraid. Do you still not have faith?" 

There are many things in life that we need to be thankful for. But yet, every time we worry about little things that mostly never happen. While there are some more serious events in life that we face where we can get hopeless, worried, anxious and scared about. But this is the time to have faith in God and surrender our worries and problems to Him. Remember that God loves you and will never leave your side. Sometimes we have problems in life, but take this positively. It is only in our problems and how we face them that we learn and grow. Cast your care upon God and have faith that He will be at your side through the storms of life. You have to just weather these storms and learn what you can. No storm is permanent and neither are your troubled situations. Things will always get better. Smile.
