𝐀𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲.

January 7, 2024

That word has been popping up everywhere lately. I feel it in the tightening of my chest. My daughter feels it when she tells me her big secret. My friend is telling me about all the preparations she has left before her baby arrives. Another friend's son hates school so much that he has intense troubles this time of year. A client is facing major surgery. A family member tells me about the decision that he dreads thinking about so much that he hasn't been able to make a decision.

We're all affected. We all have our little coping mechanisms (some more healthy than others). Not nearly as much as I should but more and more I'm learning the greatest coping mechanism out there is always available, unlimited, and free of charge - prayer. The Holy Spirit fills me like a deep breath and reassures me that God's shoulders are wide enough. He's got this. He's got me, my daughter, my friend, my other friend's son, my client, my family member, the whole world in his hands. It will be all right.
