Main Idea

The central message of Pastor Brad's sermon was that anxiety can be a tool God uses to deepen our reliance on Him. He urged us to let our anxiety drive us to prayer and to the realization that God is already present in our anxious moments. By owning our anxious thoughts and not allowing them to control us, we can step out of the anxious environment and align our thoughts with God's Word, freeing up energy and focus to make an impact in our world.
