Quotes on Anxiety

Read this a couple of days ago and jotted it down because I knew that I would look back on it often and/or need to share it with someone...

The Lord is my peace. I shall not live in anxiety. He puts me under His wing of comfort and calms my spirit within me. He takes all my anxieties on Himself and helps me to focus on Him. Yes, though I walk through a time of grave uncertainties, I will not fret - for You are my peace. Your Word and Your presence calm me now. You hold my uncertainties in the palm of Your hand. You soothe my anxious mind. You smooth my wrinkled brow. Surely serenity and trust in You shall fill me all the days of my life. And I shall keep my mind stayed on You forever.

Written by Judy Booth, excerpt from the book, Calm my Anxious Heart, by Linda Dillow.

Another quote I refer back to often that offers me peace: "The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith; and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety." George Muller.
