Gentle Reader,
I hate anxiety.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. – Philippians 4:6-8 (NKJV)

At night when I’m trying to sleep, if I find that my mind is active or worrisome, I just start thinking of things I’m grateful for. The big-little things; like air, my feet on the ground, the grass, the space. These things are very calming to me, even with an incredibly anxious mind. That passage reminds me of that meditation. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

I’ve never thought about being thankful for something like the feel of the grass on my feet. Thank you for the encouragement!
