Faithful But Fretful: Christians and Anxiety
I received a lengthy e-mail recently from a Christian in Wales. Having experienced much personal loss in his life, he wrote, "I rarely have peace." At the same time, he described times of worship when God's peace has filled his soul. So is this normal, and perhaps even to be expected in the life of a believer?
To begin with, we must be sure to establish the proper foundation. A Christian is a follower of Jesus and has received the forgiveness of sins through faith in Christ, and not on account of his deeds. Having said that, every believer brings a different set of circumstances into their relationship with Christ. Different backgrounds. Different moods. Different struggles. But the same Savior.
And while there is a certain agitation which a believer experiences as a result of his own sin, there are also many occasions when Christians experience agitation as a result of something unrelated to their obedience or some sin in their life. In fact, it is terribly common for faithful Christians to struggle with feelings of agitation for one reason or another.
