When Anxiety Hits Hard
Psalm 94:19
“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.”
That hits, doesn’t it?
You ever have days like that?
When anxiety isn’t just whispering, it’s screaming?
Yeah. Me too.
This verse doesn’t offer a fix.
It doesn’t slap a Bible band-aid on the pain.
It just tells the truth.
Anxiety was great within me.
Not a little worry. Not a vague unease.
This was a full-body, can’t-breathe kind of day.
And right in the middle of it, God showed up.
Not with a fix.
Not with a fast-forward.
Just comfort.
Just presence.
Just Him.
And somehow, that was enough.
He didn’t erase the anxiety.
He brought joy through it.
That’s a whole different kind of miracle.
If that’s where you are, I see you.
Maybe your thoughts won’t shut up.
Maybe your chest is tight.
Maybe you’re exhausted from pretending you’re fine.
Yeah. I’ve been there more times than I can count.
It doesn’t say, “stop worrying.”
It just says: the anxiety was real. Heavy.
And God came anyway.
So take a minute.
Let God hold you.
Let Him carry the joy, because honestly?
There are days I just can’t find it on my own.
