“Interestingly, Paul’s prescription for anxious minds includes thanksgiving, and if it is part of the prescription, it is often a component of the diagnosis— thankless hearts produce anxious minds.”

“Although Satan no longer exercises authority over the Christian who has been given the “mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16), he can still leverage the tools at his disposal to prevent us from thinking deeply about God.”

“God’s response to Job’s profound despair is indicative of the way He responds to all His anxious, fearful, and despairing creatures in the Bible. His reply is not based on circumstances, nor does He explain His providential plan to those who ask for answers. He routinely responds in one way: He proclaims His own character. God doesn’t say, “Let Me tell you why this is happening.” He says, “Let Me tell you who I am.” The strongest remedy, the surest balm, and the most comforting pillow God provides for the despairing and anxious is the revelation of His own nature.”
