Quote by David Jeremiah
“I’ve taught you and practice the things you’ve seen me do, and you, too, will begin to experience the presence of the God of peace. If you battle anxiety, surround yourself with others who’ve learned how to trust the Lord when life is overwhelming. Spend time with people who understand the complexities of anxiety and the keys to success. Ask them questions. Study their lives. Listen to their stories. Learn from them. Perhaps it’s time to make an appointment with a doctor or wise counselor, ask a friend to meet you for coffee, join a small group at church, or simply pick up and read an encouraging book about someone—maybe even the apostle Paul—who learned how to hand their anxious cares over to the Lord. Let God’s peace in their lives influence the anxiety in yours.”
