I came in and I'm, you know, at this point, just a couple weeks away from delivery

and just heard the words that I never thought I would hear, which were just, I'm sorry.

And just had a moment to acknowledge what he was telling me that there was no heartbeat and that our baby had died.

Susan was devastated, but we reminded her of God's unfailing love.

And so focus on the family really was monumentally instrumental in teaching me this truth and healing me.

And the resource of focus on the family was teaching me to grieve with hope.

I'm Jim Daly.

Focus on thefamily.com slash family. I get anxious when I'm going into a situation that I feel

like I am not prepared for. What really stresses me out are awkward silences, especially when you're dealing with your boss

or something like that. Sometimes I just don't know what to say. Something that makes me feel stressed

is when I feel like I have a lot of things to do and not enough time to get it done. I get really

anxious when things feel out of control or I feel like people are perceiving me wrong. Well, there are so many things

in this world that can cause us to be anxious. And I'm sure you could add your own anxiety-inducing

circumstances to that list. Today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, we're going to help you

confront your anxiety and get moving in a positive direction

so you can have hope and healing. Thanks for joining us. I'm John Fuller. John, being anxious

is part of being human also living in a world that is riddled with sin. We are in a fallen state

and we have different degrees of anxiety.

Some people struggle with this more than others, and we want to talk about it to help those who are truly struggling.

We know the Bible tells us to be anxious for nothing, which often just adds weight to the anxious people.
