Worry, worry, worry. We worry about today, we worry about tomorrow. We worry about the bills, the future, the conflicts at home and abroad, and the economy. I know a woman who has spent a large part of her life as a habitual worrier.

What is the cross to you? When you see it in your church or in your minds eye what do you see? As a child in my former religion, the cross always had a “Jesus” hanging on it looking tortured and grim. When I became a Christian I learned that Protestant churches typically don’t have a “Jesus” hanging on the cross because we believe that He rose again and that is our focus.

Have you ever been approached by someone who told you something about yourself that was not good? I have had this experience and I take them what is said seriously in the moment, and afterward I take some time to examine my heart with respect to what was discussed. I believe that is a spiritually healthy response when something someone says or does affects me this way.

When in the grip of an anxiety attack that is a logical prayer! However, the greater question is, is it biblical? I understand the risk of asking such a question, as it may upset and alienate some of you. When we are miserable and hurting it is natural to desire relief.

People I encounter daily are discontented with something so if you are discontent today you are not alone! The worship and passionate pursuit of Christ has become a worship and desperate search for material things. The hearts of many Believers have become focused on acquiring all kinds of stuff! Sadly enough, those hearts are quickly discontented even when they get all the stuff they desire.

I am freed from the shackles of performance-oriented Christianity. In living for Him there is no more fear of man, for since I am behaving in ways that are God-focused all those around me are reaping the harvest of my love for God and my obedience to His Word.
