Delivered by Joanna from the Parish of Saint Gabriel in the Diocese of Bandung, Indonesia. Isaiah 61: 9-11; Rs psalm 1 Sam 2: 1.4-5.6-7.8abcd; Luke 2: 41-51.ANANXIOUS HEART Thetitle for our meditation today is: An Anxious Heart. There was a girl of 5thgrade student of elementary school named Maria, playing Q and A (question andanswer) with her mother. She said: "Mom, answer this question. What is thedifference between Papa's heart and Mama's heart?" His mother tried tothink for a moment. Then she replied: "Papa's heart is a man's heart.Mama's heart is a woman's heart." Maria replied: "No. It's not theanswer." Her mother then continued: "Then what is the answer?""The answer is," said Maria, "Mama's heart is anxious, whilePapa's heart is indifferent." This child, of course, spoke according toher own experience with her parents. Therelationship of the heart between a mother and her child is the strongestrelationship between two human persons, more than any other kind ofrelationship that has ever existed in the world. Therefore, if a mother feelsanxious about her loved ones, surely this anxiety is an expression of a verydeep emotion in her heart. A mother's anxiety is not just a feeling ofdifficulty, uneasy or discomfort. More than that, mother becomes very sick,lost and paralyzed because half of her heart was broken into pieces. Thestory in the Gospel of Luke about the teenager Jesus who disappeared from thecare of his parents makes us understand that the worried heart came from themouth of the Virgin Mary. Like all mothers, Our Lady shows how much it hurtswhen part of her heart, or half of her life, which is her own Son missing. Amother's anxiety is like all major disasters, so the sky can open and heavenalso responds. Jesus had to answer the mother's anxiety so that she could calmdown, that He was really in His Father's house. Todaywe celebrate the most sacred Heart of Our Lady which helps us to understandthat the purity of her heart has the same role as the heart of the Lord JesusChrist. Both hearts give us solutions or answers to our problems in this world.Our Lady's anxious heart keeps her eyes open to see and point out any problemsor difficulties that each of us faces. Her anxious heart moves her to walk asfar as the ends of the earth and to reach all nations so as to bring thechildren of men to believe in God. Ifwe ourselves or the people we know and care about at this time have alreadydrifted away from the way of the Lord Jesus Christ; if the relationship betweenfriends or relatives has not improved; if there is still anger, hatred,resentment and envy towards our neighbours, let us realize that Our Lady is soworried about all this. She is working to fix all of this. Let'spray. In the name of the Father... O Father in heaven, may Your Spirit and theVirgin Mary always guide us and strengthen our commitment to walk in the pathof the Lord Jesus Christ. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the HolySpirit ... In the name of the Father...

The Psalms have this unique way of speaking directly to the soul. Whether we’re celebrating or stumbling, they give us language for every spiritual season. Psalm 139, in particular, reminds us just how intimately God knows us—especially when anxiety threatens to take over our thoughts.

Sermon By: Pastor Roman (The Gospel of Matthew pt.20)

When anxiety grips us, what do we do? This Sunday, let's talk about how God helps us face what feels overwhelming. EASY TO GIVE at Harmony, text any amount to (859) 459-0316 to get started (or give online @ my.harmonychurch.cc/give ). Get the fill in the blank bulletins my.harmonychurch.cc/bulletins. OPENING ILLUSTRATION: In Kansas when there is a tornado, they take over the tv stations? And there are only two responses to a tornado… 1. You freak out, grab all your kids, dogs, pictures, and toilet paper and run to your tornado shelter. 2. Or you grab your binoculars, open your garage door and stand out in the storm looking for a funnel cloud. That's it. Those are your two options. Well, there's a third option, you move to Canada, but none of us in here are that chicken hearted… Which one would you be? tornado shelter or binoculars? There aren't any canadians in here are there? Phew… Ok… This week we are talking about anxiety. The scripture actually deals with anxiety a lot. When it comes to anxiety, there are really two kinds of people. There are people that are gripped by anxiety and people that are affected by anxiety. And of course, there's Canadians… the reality is, all of us face anxiety at some point. -When you see your child climbing 40 feet up in a tree and your heart skips a beat, that's a reasonable anxiety -When there are flashing lights behind you after you've been driving 90 mph, that's reasonable anxiety -when your boss says, “Later today, I need to speak to you in my office alone” that's reasonable anxiety. Anxiety is a natural, God given response to create a heightened state of alertness in dangerous or fearful situations. B The problem is for some of us our brains have a disproportionate response to the inputs we experience. b This can lead to excessive nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worry. b If you are the kind of person who is gripped with anxiety, you get this. ILLUSTRATION: You know what it's like to walk into a room full of strangers and feel like the walls are closing in on you, dreading every interaction. You're thinking, “you're lucky I'm even here Kent!” You know what it's like to be immobilized by a deadline, feeling the weight of it hanging over you like 100lbs barbell. You know what it's like to run the events of the day over and over again, rethinking every situation to the nth degree. When you are gripped by anxiety. It can feel desperate and hopeless. Here's the problem. Others of you are like the binoculars people with the tornado - you go through life pretty care free and don't get it. Some of you are not gripped by anxiety at all - you are only affected by it - it comes and then it goes. People who are affected by anxiety are the people who are trying to manage the anxiety of their loved ones and coworkers - they need extra patience and struggle trying to understand why the other person can't just get over it. ILLUSTRATION: I am a little of both of these people. As I studied this more, I have silly anxiety over little things - like asking questions that I think are dumb, or letting someone do something knowing they may not be as good at it as me. But I've also realized how often I'm the person saying, “Just get over it…” “You shouldn't be worrying about this…” What I've learned from researching anxiety is that very few of us are very good at dealing with it. b so, what do we do? Here's a few things I need to say before we jump into what the bible has to say about this. And I'm speaking directly to those of you who struggle with anxiety and are gripped by it. 1. You are not alone. 40 million Americans struggle with this. And it is more and more prevalent in younger generations. My guess is, if you are 40 or under, you identify with this and if you are older, you may be going, “I don't get it”? There are a lot of reasons for the increase in anxiety. But I believe one of the biggest contributing factors is lack of boredom. People can't even sit on the toilet without using a phone - DO NOT USE OTHER PEOPLES PHONES! Younger Americans are CONSTANTLY evaluating their outer worlds and give little to no attention to their inner worlds. Some of our anxiety comes from not dealing with the inner turmoil inside of us. I also want you to know, 2. It's ok to not be ok… ILLUSTRATION: after my dad died, I went to see a Christian Counselor (suggest cc's). One of the things he said was, “Kent, who's putting all this pressure on you. You need to stand up and say to your congregation that it's ok not to be ok, because Christians rarely admit that it's ok to not be perfect” That changed everything for me. God is not displeased with you just because you're not perfect. Believe it or not, that's EXACTLY why He died for you. the last thing I want you to know is this 3. There is hope to recover from Anxiety… Living with things like depression or anxiety it can feel like you are never going to get over it. I want you to know, if you don't give up, God won't either. it may take a lifetime, but God will NEVER give up on you - no matter how dark it may seem… reminds me of a passage of scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:16-17 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Before I speak into those of you who are gripped with anxiety, can I speak for a moment into those of us who are affected by it? As someone who has been on this side of the fence, I need to tell you - we need to repent… I have not been a man who has always led with compassion in this area, and I am so deeply sorry for that. if you are someone who is dealing with someone who is riddled by anxiety. 2 things to do to lead better with the anxious. 1. Let Love Lead 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. Rarely has my response to anxiety been about loving the other person, it has almost always been a selfish oriented response. I would never react that way to a sprained ankle or broken leg, but an emotionally mental challenge I react poorly to. 2. Come up with a game plan Work with the person to learn ways you can help in those moments. Maybe it's just giving them space and you handling the thing that is producing the anxiety. But come up with a game plan and ask them to trust that in those moments, you are trying to lead with love. Now for those of you who are gripped with anxiety. I want to offer you something a little different from a normal 3 point message. There are SO many scriptures that are so good for helping with anxiety. I was thinking, how do I give that to you in a way that's meaningful. So, I did something different. I took a bunch of these passages and I wrote them into a letter from your Abba - your daddy, God the Father… I want to close by reading this letter to you. I'm going to ask you to do something for me. I want to ask you to close your eyes, bow your head and listen to this letter from God to you… Dear Beloved, I know the crushing thoughts that pervade your heart. I hear the waves of anxious thinking that bombard your mind. I need you to know, I have looked you over, and I know your heart of hearts. I know all the good and all the dastardly, all the hidden things you want no one to know, and I need you to know, I'm here, not going anywhere. I'm here to lead you into a way that is everlasting - a way of hope, life, and peace (Psalm 139:23-24). Let that word, “peace," hang in the air for a moment - it is yours. It's what I offer. It is the peace that comes when you finally come to the end of yourself. When you finally realize your utter inability to control anything. It is a peace that comes when you recognize, in deep conversation with me, that I am utterly in control. You will know you are getting there when your mind shifts from fixating on everything you wish you were, to every good thing you've already been given. Listen to me dear one, I am not done with you. Your anxious mind wants to try and figure out a way through, it wants to bring control to what feels out of control. I'm inviting you to embrace your lack of control. I'm inviting you to the shelter I long to provide for you, my peace. It is a peace that will shock and amaze those around you; it surpasses and transcends what the world can understand. My peace is a guard for the deepest recesses of your heart and mind. Embrace it, even when it feels impossible to make sense (Philippians 4:6-7). I am a caregiver by nature - a nurturer of the broken, the gentle hand that restores. You are bent - I won't break you. Your spark smolders - I will not snuff you out. I will walk alongside, at the pace you can bear, because you are what I'm after (Matthew 12:20). You worry about so many things. I need you to know I see the constant whirlpool of shame, blame, guilt, and inadequacy. Do you still not know me? Do you not know I see what no one else sees? I look past the outside of the cup to what is within. I look past the frenetic. I look past your sense of inferiority. I look past all of what occupies your mind to the part of you that, like a child, looks for an Abba, a Daddy. I see your heart, and I like what I see (1 Samuel 16:7). There are a few things I need you to know. The waters will rise, yet I am still with you. You may feel as though the raging river will sweep you away, but I will not allow it to take you. You may walk through red hot coals in this life - I will keep you from being burned. You will not be set afire. I am with you (Isaiah 43:3). Don't you know my name? I'm the “Warrior Hearted One.” I have a fierce love for those I love. I know fighting, and I am on your side. Let me take up your cause, you can relax in me. I am your salvation. Can I tell you a deep secret? One I wrote long ago? Lean in close, let me whisper my truth to your deepest longing. “I take great delight in you.” I see you, and I delight in YOU. I know, the enemy has filled your mind with lies and half-truths, but I know nothing of them because I did not create them. They are a horrible fiction that has hidden my truth. You are my treasure, my love. My child, I long to sing over you in joy! (Zephaniah 3:17) I know it feels like there are so many things to fix, so many things to worry about, so many things that if you don't engage them will fall off the face of this earth. This is not my truth. My truth is that I can take care of it. For fun I spend my days dressing the flowers, feeding the birds, capping the mountains with white, and stirring the oceans. How much more do you think you are worth to me? Stop, don't answer that. I already have. You are worth everything, my very life - put on the line to bring you back into my presence (Matthew 6:25-34, John 3:16), and, get this, I did all that while you were at your absolute worst (Romans 5:8). So, what makes you think I can't handle what you feel you are now? Let me close with this. Hard days are in front of you - unimaginable pain, inscrutable distress. Don't lose heart, my dear one. I am the overcomer. I've overcome the stronghold of sin. I've overcome your dead heart and shocked it back to life. I've overcome the greatest enemy of all: death (John 16:33, 1 Corinthians 15:55-57). So, when I say this, believe it. I have a special book, a journal of sorts. In it I record the names of those who are mine. It is my “family reunion” list, and dear one, you are on it. I will have special compassion on you because you are my special child whom I love dearly. Rest in that (Malachi 3:16-17). With deep love, Your Abba (Daddy) [Need to have printed versions of the letter for people to grab on their way out] I want to give this letter to you as a gift to you in order to give you a practical way to slow down when you are in the midst of an anxious moment. Maybe you are going into an environment that always seems to trigger your anxiety, take 5 minutes and read this letter before. Keep it in your car or your wallet or somewhere you can read it each day. If you feel anxiety coming on, go back to the letter and read it, let it grab your heart and allow God to bring healing and His peace.

A new MP3 sermon from Emmaus Reformed Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: True Remedies For An Anxious Heart Subtitle: The Gospel According To Luke Speaker: Joe Anady Broadcaster: Emmaus Reformed Baptist Church Event: Sunday - AM Date: 7/21/2024 Bible: Luke 12:22-34 Length: 49 min.

Anxiety exists because sin exists. Our hearts were never meant to be anxious, and yet because of Genesis 3, they are. This anxious heart of ours needs hope, and it needs to be changed from the inside out. Joe shows us three ways to pursue hope in an anxious world, from the book of 1 Peter. The post This Anxious Heart appeared first on Caz Church.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.”~Jim Carey (1962-present), Actor “Worry is like a rocking chair; it keeps you moving but doesn't get you anywhere.”~Corrie Ten Boom (1892-1983), Author and Holocaust Survivor “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”~Matthew 6:34 (ESV) “Our anxiety often reveals a refusal to trust God's fatherly providence. And, whenever we start ignoring that, there's always a devil along to adopt us, to promise us bread instead of stones, fish instead of snakes. We don't recognize the reptilian voice, but we look into our future, or into our Bibles, and wonder nonetheless, ‘Has God really said?'”~Russell Moore (1971-present), Author and TheologianSERMON PASSAGELuke 12:22-34 (ESV) 22 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! 25 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 26 If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. 30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you. 32 “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

How does Jesus help calm our worries? Like a tender shepherd Jesus knows his sheep, and he knows his preceding words about worldly wealth may exacerbate our anxiety. Join us as we see him remind us of the fullness of our life, our value in our Father's eyes, and the futility of our anxiety to give us anything of value. Drawing on his words in this and earlier paragraphs we also consider the practical means he provides us to combat the worry and anxiety that beset us. May God increase our faith!

Life offers lots of reasons to be anxious... But God invites us to calm our hearts and still our soul by learning to rest in Him. No matter what we face. In this episode of The Living Room with Joanna Weaver, best-selling author Linda Dillow shares how God has taught her to trust Him more - and the beautiful ministry He's opened to her in war-torn countries like Ukraine. This interview had me in tears - it's just that good. Hope you'll share it with a friend. Links from Show Linda's Book: Calm My Anxious Heart Other Books: What's It Like to Be Married to Me?

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom's Podcast!  On today's podcast we welcome Dr. Melissa Ewing, an adjunct professor at Dallas Baptist University and former children's minister to discuss anxiety in adults and children.  We discuss how to recognize the signs of an anxiety disorder in ourselves, the children in our sphere of influence and what outward expressions to look for. Dr. Ewing also talks about how anxiety and stress in children is different from adults, things we can do to help as adults in their life and when to reach out for professional help. As parents, our children and the ways we handle the weight of anxious seasons can have lasting affects on the kiddos we love, and how we approach this conversation from a Christian perspective is one full of hope. Thanks and welcome Dr. Ewing! ENJOY friends and HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom's Podcast!  Happy Wednesday! Can you describe what the Bible has to say about God's plan to be with us in a few sentences? Or what character trait of God has he shown you through your quiet times? For me, it is that God is my provision. God has always been the answer to the nagging questions in my life. From the loudest 'what if's', to the quiet self doubt, Jehoveh Jireh, the Lord will provide, is my comfort and seen in scripture from start to finish. Today I am sharing how God has used scripture, people around me and reflection to reveal his provision and love for me from the very beginning...past and present. He is FAITHFUL BEFORE, FAITHFUL AGAIN. Everyone has their own story, but we are all meant to share what God has done in our lives. There are more episodes in the weeks to come with Dr. Melissa Ewing on parenting from and to an anxious heart. Thanks for listening and sharing with moms in your world! ENJOY!

Guest: Erin Williams, LPC, PCA Upper School Counselor, Plano campus   APA defines anxiety as “an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes”.   Exists on a spectrum from everyday “good anxiety” to debilitating clinical anxiety   Anxiety that helps you get things done vs. anxiety that keeps you from doing things   Anxiety demands 2 things Certainty: “I have to know whatʼs going to happen next…and I want to control it!” Comfort: “I want to feel safe and comfortable…or else I want out!   Our bodies, our brains, our emotions weren't meant to handle all the information all the time   A world that feels scary and threatening (it has always been like this but not we have access to see school shootings, wars, violence live on social media)   Social media “There's not a single exception. All screen activities are linked to less happiness, and all non-screen activities are linked to more happiness.” Jean Twenge's article in the Atlantic Designed to create anxiety, depression, angst, a sense of urgency, wanting to look & feel different, needing something new Teens (and adults) used to exist in small(ish) circles so maybe they were still struggling with comparison to neighbors, peers, teammates, etc. but now they are comparing themselves to EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE … including images, stories, personas that are fake/false/not real.  Parenting positives and negatives in handling anxiety… NegativeHigh expectations and pressure to “succeed” Avoidance - worry says to STOP so you have to keep going Not setting limits, boundaries (your job as a parent is to keep your kids safe and healthy -> mind, body & soul) Projecting anxiety onto your childrenAnxiety is a learned behavior This doesn't mean don't be anxious but it does mean that as a parent you need to do the work! (generational trauma/sin) PositiveTolerate and normalize discomfort (instead of saving our kids from it) Learn by doing, failing, & succeeding Handle the uncertainty of life -> resiliency Be more flexible -> malleability Problem solve (vs. ruminate) Simplify life Healthy families: time together, positive communication, appreciation & affection Strong biblical foundation & limits on social media  Teens being spiritually confused + largely influenced by social media = destructive thinking (Center for Bible Engagement)   Books for parents of teens with anxiety Parenting the New Teen in the Age of Anxiety (Dr. John Huffy) Books for parents with anxiety Get Out of Your Head (Jenny Allen) Podcasts Flusterclux with Lynn Lyons (non-Christian, but very practical stories that are helpful, more pointed toward clinical anxiety)   2 Corinthians 10:5 “We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One” (TPT).
