But maybe it should be, but God, thank you that I can trust you and love you and that you deal with these things for me and you give me wisdom and you give me strength and you give me peace.

Maybe that's how we should reframe it.

And instead of looking at the mountain of issues, of things to do, of pressure, of confrontations in your life, maybe look to heaven.

Not straight forward at the mountain.

Look to heaven and say, God, give me wisdom.

And let me not look at the mountain and be intimidated, but let me look at your feet and give me step by step on how I deal with this.

You know, it breaks God's heart to see you anxious.

And the reason it does break God's heart is because anxiety is selfish.

And you might say, whoa, Bryce, what do you mean it's selfish?

Because there's something inside of you that is trying to do it out of your own strength, out of your own wisdom.

And sure, maybe it works sometimes.

And maybe if you're someone that says, man, I feel like I'm spiritually dry or I don't know, I can't hear God.

I can't see him.

Maybe right now you just need to get honest with God and say, man, God, I really have been trying to do this in my own strength and it's not working.

It's backfiring.

It's blowing up.

And I need you now every second, every breath, every moment.

God, I don't want to do this anymore out of my own strength.

So I want to pray for us when we close that God will give you strength and wisdom and

and that you will no longer lean on yourself, but lean on him.
