May pwede kang sandalan when life gets messy.
Alam mo bang nakatali ang anxiety to not knowing what’s going to happen? It’s a mixture of fear of uncertainty and fear that something bad might happen because we don’t know what the outcome will be. That’s why we get anxious kapag may diagnosis ng seryosong sakit na hindi natin alam kung gagaling pa or hindi; o kapag nawawalan ng trabaho, o nahihirapan maghanap ng bagong trabaho.
Let’s pause and think about that for a second. Totoo ba ito sa buhay mo? Anu-ano ang mga bagay na nagdudulot sa’yo ng anxiety? Totoo bang nagiging anxious ka kapag hindi mo masiguro ang mga nangyayari o mangyayari?
In our series this week, “Anxiety: A Biblical View (It’s Not What You Think!),” we want to look at this area of uncertainty. Kung isa ito sa malaking sanhi ng anxiety (hindi natin sinasabing ito lamang ang sanhi—there are many factors that contribute to anxiety; this is just the one we’re focusing on today), this might be why it’s critical na malaman natin kung saan tayo may katiyakan. At isa dito ay ang Panginoon.
What do we mean by this? Kung ang lahat ng bagay sa buhay natin ay nagbabago at maaaring mawala, makakatulong ba sa anxiety natin ang malamang there is Someone who never changes, and who would never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5)? This Someone is the Lord, and in the midst of all the things that shake us, kapag alam nating nandiyan pa rin Siya, pwede itong magbigay ng kapayapaang hindi natin makukuha sa ibang paraan.
Hindi ibig sabihin na binabalewala natin ang anxiety. But sometimes, maybe we need a place to rest and lean on as we go through anxious thoughts. Hopefully, He can be that place for you.
Tandaan mo, isa kang miracle!
