Vital Step to a Radiant Faith-Cast Anxiety on Jesus

October 5th, 2023 No comments

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is casting our anxiety on Jesus.

If you research how to cope with anxiety, you will find various recommendations from therapy to physical exercise to taking medication. They might help us, but that is not the complete picture.

Another suggestion is to talk with someone we trust. No one is more trustworthy than Jesus. He is truthful. He is full of love. And He can fill us with peace that the world cannot comprehend.

First Peter 5:7 says, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” It takes trust to confide our fears and concerns to someone else. And Jesus is there to hear us.

This was the practice of David who wrote many of the Psalms. When he was in trouble, he turned to God for help. That is because He trusted in God. He wrote in Psalm 55:22, “Cast your cares on the Lord, and he will sustain you. He will never let the righteous be shaken.”

Casting our Anxiety on Jesus is a Vital Step to a Radiant Faith that makes a difference in our world.

Praise & Worship Playlist

August 1st, 2021 No comments
This week’s Praise & Worship Playlist has new songs from Jon Reddick & Matt Maher, Village Lights, Shane & Shane, Chris McClarney and Hillsong Worship. Plus, the lineup includes a couple mini-themes: Wonderful Counselor & Psalm 118 (This is The Day)! You can listen to these mini-themes on Spotify here.
The Wonderful Counselor theme includes a song by Corey Voss & Madison Street Worship called “Praise Your Name”. This chorus is key! It’s printable, postable, and fridge-worthy.
I’m gonna sing my way out of the valley
I’m gonna shout my way up to the mountain
I will take hold of the truth of Your promise
I’m gonna praise, I’m gonna praise
I’m gonna push through till every lie crumbles
I’m gonna dance in the midst of the rain
I’m gonna rest in the arms of the Father
I’m gonna praise, I’m gonna praise Your name
I love this live video of Jon Reddick & Matt Maher singing “God, Turn It Around”!
And I’ve had lots of guests on the Praise & Worship Podcast lately, talking about the heart behind their new songs and giving worship leading tips, too.
