Often our fears can be helped by a change in perspective.

So says Janet Mylan.

When I am wrapped up in anxiety, it is all about me.

But when I'm able to turn my focus on the truth of God's word and the truth of his character,

that helps me get my mind off of myself and onto the bigger picture and onto the fact that I'm never alone.

And the future is full of God's grace and love for me.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMas Walgamoo, co-author of You Can Trust God to Write Your Story.

For July 17th, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

Well, if you're a part of the human race, you struggle from time to time with anxiety.

We all do, right? But have you ever noticed how many

times in the scripture the Lord exhorts us, don't be afraid. Do not fear. Fear not. Don't fret.

Don't be anxious over and over and over again. Sometimes it feels like we're winning against fear and anxiety. But at other times,

we find ourselves overwhelmed with worry. I sometimes call those rogue emotions. It's as if our

anxious thoughts rebel against us and say, no, I'm in charge. You're going to do what I say.

It really can feel like a war where we're

sometimes losing more battles than we're winning. Well, our guest today will help us with some

practical tips for how to fight those battles well. Well, not long before the pandemic hit our

world, Janet Mylan came into the studio to talk with Dana Gresh about anxiety.

And I think you'll agree this conversation's even more relevant and helpful today than it was back then.

Let's listen.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, or depressed?

Maybe you should try painting.
