It has a way of making even the most confident person feel small and weighed down with life's problems and worries.

It is experienced by everyone at some point in their life, even the most confident of individuals. There is only one surefire way to expel it completely or reduce it to vapors. Give it all to Jesus. Make Him your trusted savior. Cast all of your cares and worries on Him and watch as the stress and anxiety melt away and become distant memories. God understands that even after you give Him your life, that there will be times when the evil one will use the weight of this world to try and make you doubt your faith. He will use whatever resources are available to try and tear down your faith and trust in God. That it is when you have to "Hunker down" as my grandmother used to say and let God be the rock that He is.

Jesus talks about worry and anxiety in the sermon on the mount in Matthew 6:25-34. He reinforces that truth that we already know. God cares about you deeply. His love for you is eternal and mighty. If anxiety or worry plagues your life, then read that passage over and over to comfort your heart and soul. It is powerful and true.

In the Billy Graham training center bible, Billy absolutely says it best when he talks about anxiety by saying, "As your fellowship with God increases, faith will replace fear, and peace will supplant anxiety."
