Here is a wonderful reminder. We all have issues in our lives that cause concern, and depending on their importance or what they can lead to... they can also lead to anxiety and worry.
Merriam-Webster tells us anxiety is an apprehensive uneasiness or nervousness usually over an impending or anticipated bad thing. We can often find ourselves in this lost and fallen world that is estranged from God fretting over these anticipated things we concern ourselves over.
