When you find yourself feeling worried and overwhelmed, turn to the power and goodness of God’s Word. Anxiety can suck you into a whirlpool of racing thoughts, and sometimes the only way out is by latching onto the rock-solid Truth.
There are several ways to make sure you’re seeing Scripture throughout the day, but one of my favorites is setting an alarm on my phone and making the verse or a few key words the name of the alarm. Set it to go off everyday or several times a day to help you focus your mind on God’s Word. Of course, you’ve got the trusty Post-It note method. That’s where you write verses on Post-Its and put them in places you’ll see throughout the day (think refrigerator, bathroom mirror, computer monitor, etc.) The ultimate way to have Scripture always available to you is memorization. I know it seems daunting and difficult, but start slow- maybe a short verse a week. Each week when you add a new verse, continue to review the one you already know. You’ll be surprised how many verses you can remember if you stick with it. Recruit a friend, spouse, or kid in your life to learn along with you.
