Remember Rita Penner anxiety bible courage doubt faith health hope peace promises stress thankfulness trust wisdom Past performance is the best indicator of future performance. When we wonder what God is up to and wonder if He knows what He’s doing, a great way to navigate that tension is through reflecting on His-story – God’s track record of faithfulness and attentiveness is the best predictor for how we can trust Him. Immersing ourselves in Scripture, study, meditation, is one of the healthiest things we can do in this life to help us with our fear and anxiety. This is the full service.
