Why do people often live in fear and anxiety?

Position Optimism
The Christian faith is certainly not the power of positive
thinking (as helpful as that can be at times). It is God’s
point of view. It sounds audacious to claim to have God’s
point of view doesn’t it? But is this not precisely what
Scripture claims—to be God’s point of view?

ACTS 27:25 ESV
PROMISES
The ultimate measure of a man is not where
he stands in moments of comfort and
convenience, but where he stands at times
of challenge and controversy.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
 There are two kinds of Christians:
1. Those who whine doubt on God’s promises.
2. Those who shine are those who hold firm on God’s
promises.
 NUMBERS 14:27-28 ESV
27
“How long shall this wicked congregation grumble
against me? I have heard the grumblings of the
people of Israel, which they grumble against me.
28
Say to them, ‘As I
live, declares the LORD,
what you have said in my hearing I will do to you:
I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness
of the Lord in the land of the living.
PSALM 27:13 NIV
 NUMBERS 23:19 GW

God is not like people. He tells no lies. He is not

like humans. He doesn't change his mind. When
he says something, he does it. When he makes a
promise, he keeps it.

"God is the only one who can
make the valley of trouble
a door of hope.“
Catherine Marshall
 ISAIAH 40:31 NIV

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and
not be faint.
Storms of life may wear us out and weigh us
down, but it will never weaken our
Wonderful God.
