Insecurity and anxiety are debilitating emotions. Nothing affects behavior more than feelings of insecurity. When humanity snubbed our creator we fell deep depths of insecurity and vulnerability.
When a person begins to believe in and follow Jesus Christ, very often the most notable and immediate affects He has on us is an inner sense of security and peace. I prize that sense of security as one of the most priceless gifts in my life.
But there are times when as a Christian our security and anxiety levels can be rattled. Furthermore have different weaknesses and even emotional wounds and illnesses to overcome if we are to feel secure and free of anxiety. Tehre is more work to be done and I believe its work of Jesus Christ through others that can help us to rest secure. It is a committment and a pursuit of Jesus Christ that every Chrsitian must take up if they are to experience that secure and stable emotional resting place.
Feelings the sense of being left out, feeling the need to accuse others. Feeling the needs to criticize everything around you that doesn’t meet your expectations. Feeling the sense that life is passing us by and things are left undone can be a result or even a cause of deep inner insecurity.
As in all things it is Jesus Christ himself who gets the job done for us initially and throughout a lifetime. Jesus Christ makes us to rest secure perpetually and ongoing as we face new and different difficulties. He is the one who makes us rest daily under the shadow of his wings. He makes us safe from harm, he heals our diseases, he forgives us our trespasses. But he also sends us friends, he give us jobs, he provides for our needs. He illuminates our darkness and opens the eyes of our understanding.
But if you are feeling a sense of insecurity and regret you should begin to pray, begin to pursue him begin to seek him with great resolve. Pour out your heart to him and watch him do to your emotions what only he can do.
If you are seeking first Jesus Christ nothing feels left undone, only his feelings of things left undone become ours and he lets us get to work on them, which brings us great joy. If we are seeking first Jesus Christ our accusations and criticism’s of others and of the situations we find, just melt away and we simply stop feeling inferior. If we are seeking first Jesus Christ we become settled in our hearts, stable in our behavior, calmly confident of our lives and our situations.
And the the ‘Wonderful Counselor’, and ‘The Comforter’, the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ does an inner work in us that no one else could possibly do.
