I thought that this will help people with anxiety or faith problems......here you go:
Faith and Rest
We know that rest is important to God, and entering into God's rest is one of his gifts for us.
The key to receiving rest is faith. By faith we leave behind the anxiety and activity of living for ourselves. We enter a prayerful, annointed life of forgiveness, worship, wonder, fidelity and purpose. God created us for such a life.
Now faith is not the ability to convince ourselves that white is black, that we are well when we are sick, or that pain and suffering are okay. It is the childlike assurance, belief and loyalty that we have toward our loving father. This is the faith that releases God's blessings into our own lives and into other people's lives through us.
The words of God in the Bible are like a scalpel, exposing and excising cancerous thoughts and attitudes that eat away at faith. By meditating on God's words day and night they become part of us. They are alive and active, like a divine surgeon, operating on our flesh and our spirit, transforming them back to his likeness.
Internalize verses from scripture, increase in faith as his words do their work on faith-destroying thoughts and attitudes picked up from Godless parts of our culture, and enter his rest as he leads and guides us, sharing the highs and lows of our lives, working together to establish his promises in the hearts and minds of the people he has put around us.
Have a blessed day in God!! ;)
