The Cure to Anxiety

We’re all looking for a cure to our ailment, are we not. Looking for that “thing” that will bring instant relief to our anxiety or get us out of the season. Cures are hard to come by but we do find one for anxiety in Luke 12.

In this passage, Jesus is sharing with his disciples on the topic of anxiety. He references the birds and the grass--God takes care of them. And if God takes care of them, how much more will He take care of you!

Worry and anxiety don’t add any value and only rob today of it’s value. In fact, Jesus says he knows what you need. God knows you need that job, or reconciliation after that fight, or finances for that bill. Yes, indeed pray for what you need but don’t let the worry of what might happen drive you to a place of distraction.

Instead, fix your eyes on the Father and He will take care of all of these things. If you need a reminder in this, go back to day 3.

So, what’s the cure?

1. Remember that God already has your needs in mind. (v. 30)
2. Set your focus on Him. (v. 31)
3. Store up your treasures in Heaven. (v. 33)

At the core of this cure is keeping Christ at the center!
