When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.
I try not to worry. A lot. When I am thinking right, I remember to bring my anxiety to God.
A few months ago, God allowed me to stumble across a quote from someone I'd never heard of before. Her name was Mary C. Crowley. I did some research and found that she was many things, but she was also someone who COULD have been weighed down with anxiety. Lost her parents at an early age. Went to work during the Great Depression to keep her children from starving. Battled cancer twice.
Here's her quote I found: “Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway.”
The words from Psalm 94 - echoed in this wise woman's words - remind us that in our worries or anxiety, God is there to console us.
