Your anxiety does not define you. It does not have to be the end of your story. "

OVERCOME ANXIETY By Danielle Porter Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4: 6-7) 20| DIVINE PURPOSE MAGAZINE

As I’m sitting here on a flight direct from Boston to Honolulu, 40,000 feet in the air, people marked with anxiety surround me. Anxiety is the number one mental health disorder of 2021 and if the population of this airplane is any indication, the stats are real. But humor me for a moment.

Does your worry and anxiousness help the plane fly straighter? Does it keep the plane from crashing? If the pilot heard that someone on board was anxious would that help him fly “better”? I realize these questions are silly, but truly the anxiousness produces nothing but more anxiety.
