God has given you new birth, joy in the midst of trials, and an inheritance that cannot fade. Regardless of our circumstances, we have this sure hope.

What if joy wasn't dependent on our circumstances at all? What if there was a kind of happiness that ran deeper than our feelings, more permanent than our temporary situations, and more powerful than our present pain?

Your anxieties are real. Your fears have names and faces. But today, practice leading your heart back to the One who is your fortress. Don't wait for feelings to cooperate. Direct them toward truth.

Anxiety is the great equalizer, affecting every human being regardless of status, wealth, or even faith. That’s where the promises of God’s Word come in to comfort us.
