Anxiety
Anyone who struggles with anxiety knows it can be so much more than just a “feeling.” It often makes its home in our bodies, leaving us feeling isolated from God, from the people around us, and even ourselves. In this message, we’re tackling an emotion that hasn’t always been easy to talk about in the Church. We’re aiming to change that – and find healing and hope along the way.
1. If you’re up for it, share how anxiety shows up in your life. Do you overplan and overthink? Do you stuff it down but feel it breaking down your body? What are some of the ways you deal with anxiety when it comes to the surface of your life?
2. In our Scripture, Peter meets Jesus not apart from the storm, but right in the middle of it. What might it look like for us to meet – and even expect – the presence of God in the midst of our anxiety? How might we take courage in the midst of our storm?Â
