“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid,
nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
(Joshua 1:9 NKJV)
The life of a senior in high school is incredible and exciting. It comes with
many amazing opportunities that you cannot get in any other stage of life. With all
these opportunities comes a lot more stress in life. I have dealt with anxiety like never
before because I am in a stage of life where I do not know what next year looks like.
For the first time, I am not relying on my parents for my future. My stress has taken a
toll on me, but it has also brought me closer to God than ever before. Joshua 1:9 has
been one of my favorite verses because it can apply to everyone. God has given me
the strength and courage to move on in the difficult times of my life. The final line of
this verse is what hits home for me every time I read it. God will be with me through
the ups and the downs in my life. God has proven again and again that his love is
greater than anything I can do to run away from it.
“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor
powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other
created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39 NKJV).
My encouragement to everyone reading this is to lean on God during the good
times and the bad ones. God’s love is stronger than everything mentioned in Romans
8:38-39, and it is reassuring to know how much He loves us. Almost everyone has
anxiety in some form, but I have realized that the only way to deal with it is through
God’s love. If you are struggling with anxiety, know that you have the Prince of Peace
to lean on. Turning to God in the difficult times in life can be one of the hardest things
to do, but trust me, it will be the best decision you ever make.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which
surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”
(Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV).
