Building Healthy Families: Worry. Stress. Anxiety. Each of these pull at the corner of our mind until we begin to doubt the promises of God. When you find yourself fretting, stop - and remember God’s Living Word, written for you: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your heart and mind as you live in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7) Lutheran Family Service of Iowa (515) 251-4900.
