Summer Psalms: Prayer For The Anxious - Psalm 27 (English)

English Sermon
21/02/2021
By: Ps. Yosia Yusuf

Why are we overly anxious? Why are we sleepless and constantly filled with fear and worry? Here is why we are overly anxious. All of us have things in our lives that we treasure. We love them and we desire them. And they are good things. Parents and children are good things. Career is a good thing. Sex is a good thing. All of us have lots of good things in our lives. But when good things become the one thing we must have for us to be happy, we gaze on them. We seek them. We desire them. And we believe that we cannot be satisfied unless we have it. So, when the good things become the one thing, that’s when anxiety hits. Anxiety is like smoke that we can trace down to the fire. When we are overly anxious about something, and we trace down the root of that anxiety, we will always find good things that have become the one thing. At the root of our anxiety, we will find a counterfeit god that has become our source of confidence. When good things become the one thing, we will be very anxious.
