Power Anxiety

In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus is recorded saying, "be anxious about nothing." My anxiety results in my desire for power and self-preservation. Whether it is business, health, or any aspect of life, anxiety easily becomes the venom of "self-empowerment's" bite.

The more complex situations become the more my own abilities are challenged to resolve the situation. The only remedy for the stress this brings is to release myself not from the responsibility of work to create a final and desirable outcome, but from the responsibility to determine that the outcome is indeed final. That must be left to God.
