Do you worry? Seems like every time you turn around, there’s another headline that strikes fear and causes worry these days. What about your kids? Do you worry about them? Do you worry you will ruin them? Do you worry about the things they will have to face? What can you do about worry? Well, Keri Eichberger is with me in this episode to talk about these big issues surrounding worry. Keri offers encouraging insights and reminds us of the power of God’s truth in conquering worry and finding peace in all seasons of life. You can win over worry!
In this episode, Keri and I discuss:
- Keri’s family dynamics with five children and how that lends itself to an environment of worrying
- How you can help someone if you are just one step ahead of them
- The distinction between genuine concern and worry
- Understanding the root fears behind worry, which often include a fear of helplessness and a fear of being unloved or unworthy
- Understanding God’s unconditional love and his power
- Overcoming worry by seeking God’s truth, turning to prayer, embracing community, studying the Bible, and other spiritual practices
- Acknowledging that some individuals may be more predisposed to worry due to their wiring, but still emphasizing the same things work for those people
- Keri’s example of a fear of flying and trusting God
Worry is common and we all face it. But, worry is not from God and you can overcome it through the power of God who lives in you!
