Cure for Anxiety

My view from “The Chair” this morning - Psalm 63:6. I don’t know if menopause is synonamous with anxiety for any of you, but it has been for me. I have lots of younger friends that struggle with anxiety, but this season of my life has brought this new friend. Yes, you heard me right, I called “Anxiety” my “Friend”. Yep, I awake pretty much at least once a night, if not more and just lie there often gripped by anxiety.

1 Samuel 17:48 Are Your Thoughts a “Crazy Circus” or “Beautiful Symphony” - You pick!

Since confession is good for the soul, can I confess something to you?  Every night I wake up in the dead of night with all consuming thoughts of worry and almost instantly become filled with anxiety.  It seems like as soon as I am not in control of what is going on in my thoughts (in other words, I’m not conscious), my mind starts unpacking all the nice little tidy boxes that I’ve put the days worries in and allows them to run free like a clowns at a crazy carnival circus.  Am I the only one attending this type of circus in the dead of night?  Some how I don’t think so.  

Psalm 108:1

My view from "The Chair" this morning - Psalm 108:1.  Okay, Time for some confession.  Yes, I know ... I've been absent these last two months.  Truth be told, it's been ten shades of rough.  I don't know about you, but "sometimes" the battle is just rough both physically and spiritually.  Wanna know a secret?  I've been out doing battle on the Clear Creek Trail.  No, not physically, but spiritually.  Evidently, some of you locals have heard me.  Here is how I've been battling.  I've been declaring, through song, all the ways He surrounds me; goes before me; and fights my battles.  (I've attached one of my favorite songs that I've been using.)
