Isaiah 46:4

Last week, I found myself feeling very anxious. There was nothing really going on in life, no reason for anxiety, and anxiety isn't really even a recurring issue in my life. Yet, there it was.

Naturally, I went to the place where I go to find help...Pinterest. Yes, I know that's not the first place I should go, but the truth is that I do. I'm not quite sure how it happened or what I searched, but I ended up finding Isaiah 46:4. It says,

I have made you and I will carry you;
 I will sustain you and I will rescue you

This verse was a perfect reminder that God is in control no matter what the circumstances, and that because He made me and loves me, He will always protect me. I was able to find such hope and peace through that verse. I actually found another pin that had the verse in a size that would fit on the homescreen of my phone, and now those are the words I see when I turn my phone on. I actually stared at the screen reading and reading it while I was at the doctor's office the other day. I'm sure people thought I was being rude and checking my phone constantly, but the more I read it, the more my anxiety faded and I just didn't care what others thought.
