Can God use your anxiety for
good?
I suffer from anxiety and have
been told by some people that anxiety if ‘un-Christian’ - however on reading
Rhett Smith’s book I realise what I knew all along – they are wrong. It is ok to be a Christian and be anxious.
In the Anxious Christian, Rhett Smith
tells his personal story of living with anxiety and through this and using
biblical thinking, Rhett argues that, rather than being destructive or
shameful, anxiety can be a catalyst for our spiritual growth.
I learnt a lot from reading this
book – ways to deal with my anxiety in the different areas of my life e.g. work
and relationships. I learnt to not worry about having anxiety but being ok with
it and not letting the anxiety rule my life in a destructive way. I learnt that the best thing to do is give my
anxiety to God and ask Him to use it for His greater good.
I thoroughly recommend this book
to anyone suffering from anxiety and to anyone who knows someone who suffers
from anxiety. It is very well written and has lots of good sound personal and biblical
advice.
