Can Your Daily Choices Bring New Life to Your Relationships When You're Feeling Anxious?

When we're feeling anxious, it can be challenging to see how our daily choices can bring new life to our relationships. However, the Bible teaches us that our choices can either bring life or death to our relationships. In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches us to not worry about our daily needs, but to trust in God's provision. This is not to say that we will never feel anxious or stressed, but rather that we can learn to navigate these emotions in a way that brings life to our relationships.

One way to bring new life to our relationships when we're feeling anxious is to focus on the present moment and the people around us. When we're anxious, we often get caught up in worries about the future or regrets about the past. However, when we focus on the present moment, we can begin to see the beauty and joy in our relationships. We can choose to listen more deeply to our partner, to show more empathy and understanding, and to be more present in our interactions with them. By doing so, we can create a sense of safety and security in our relationships, which can help to alleviate anxiety and bring new life to our relationships.

Ultimately, bringing new life to our relationships when we're feeling anxious requires a willingness to let go of our need for control and to trust in God's sovereignty. When we're anxious, we often try to control every aspect of our lives, including our relationships. However, this can lead to a sense of burnout and exhaustion. By letting go of our need for control and trusting in God's sovereignty, we can learn to navigate our anxiety in a way that brings new life to our relationships. We can choose to see our anxiety as an opportunity to grow and deepen our relationships, rather than as a source of stress and anxiety. By doing so, we can create a more fulfilling and meaningful life, both for ourselves and for those around us.
