There are bumper stickers and social media posts that challenge us to choose joy and just be happy. But that's a lot easier said than done. When anxious thoughts creep into my mind, it's easy to let them take over, control my actions, and change my perspective. The reality is, there's often a battle in my mind over what will control my thoughts and emotions. What can I do to keep my anxious thoughts from winning that battle?
From Series: "Don't Worry: God's Strategies for Attacking Anxiety"
Of all the challenges we face on a regular basis, anxiety is one of the most common. Fear of the unknown, a lack of control, and feeling overwhelmed by our circumstances can leave us struggling with worry and despair. When anxiety attacks, we can feel defenseless and powerless to fight back. But God has given us strategies in His Word to help us go on the offensive against worry and fear. For the next few weeks at Flagstone, we’ll discover the weapons God gives us to attack our anxiety so we can conquer it instead of allowing it to conquer us.

Most of us know the frustration of setting goals for ourselves in different aspects of our lives and then failing to stay committed to achieving those goals. Often we find a variety of excuses to justify why we fall short of what we set out to accomplish. What if, instead of making excuses, I chose to follow through on the things I know I need to do? What would happen if I kept trying again instead of giving up when things got tough? As I begin a new year, it may be time to recognize the things in my life that need to be different, and it may be time for me to fully commit to those changes - no excuses!
