"In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul". (Ps. 94:19).
Have you ever been plagued by anxiety? Perhaps it was because of what others have said or done or because of what you have said or done.
For example, you may have made a mistake, and you worry that Jehovah will never forgive you. To make matters worse, you may believe that because you are overwhelmed by anxiety, you must lack faith—you must be a bad person.
Consider, though, a few Scriptural examples. Hannah, the prophet Samuel’s mother, was a woman of great faith. Yet, she was overcome by anxiety when a member of her household treated her badly. (1 Sam. 1:7)
The apostle Paul had strong faith, but he was overwhelmed with “anxiety for all the congregations.” (2 Cor. 11:28)
Even so, David made mistakes that caused him to suffer bouts of crushing anxiety. (Ps. 38:4) Jehovah comforted and soothed each one of them.
As believers, when circumstances of this try 2 wear us down, we shouldn't feel depressed. We should have faith and believe that He that giveth life will make a way and comfort us.
