“God’s trustworthiness is the strength behind our battle against anxiety. Every weapon we use against anxiety must start with who He is, because only then do we invite an objective perspective and power into our circumstances. Jesus is the most trustworthy person who exists. Think about it: How can we trust Him for our eternal destiny and not trust him with our present fear?” Stop Calling Me Beautiful, page 110.

I love Phylicia’s definition of faith: Trust in God’s goodness and ability.
