Questions & Answers: Living by Faith

Christians can experience anxiety, but it's not necessarily sinful. The key is to trust in God's providence and guidance, and to remember that we are not alone in our struggles.

This can be achieved by living in the present moment, enjoying the blessings of God, and longing for the day when we will be with Him. Ultimately, it's about having a deep trust in God's sovereignty and a sense of contentment in all circumstances. [... more]
