The Bible, a timeless book, contains valuable insights that can help us overcome anxiety and find peace in our lives.

In the year 2023, anxiety remains a widespread and universal struggle. It transcends all boundaries—rich or poor, young or old, anxiety knows no discrimination.

We may even turn inward, scrutinizing every aspect of our being, feeling trapped and hopeless. Alternatively, we may seek solace in others, recognizing the importance of companionship and support during challenging times.

It is during these moments that the Bible encourages us to shift our focus upward, towards the Lord, for it is from Him that true help comes.
