Anxiety and fear are everywhere, just like viruses. We can't get rid of them, but we have to overcome them. Currently, the world is experiencing anxiety and fear from an economic crisis. In addition, Korea is afraid of anxiety and fear from the reality of an even more difficult life in the face of economic crises around the world. Moreover, this year, the country is politically unstable ahead of the general and presidential elections. What should we do in a society full of anxiety at this time?

1. Don't be afraid (I'm with you)
According to the Bible, the Lord says, "Don't be afraid, I am with you." Finding that the Lord is with us is the best way to gain peace in our hearts. Because only Yahweh, who built heaven and earth, is helpful to us, we can look at God, not at Taesan, even if we have difficulties like Taesan. Since God is the one who makes heaven and rules over heaven and earth, meeting God is a prerequisite for overcoming it even if there is fear in heaven and earth.
Psalm 91 verse 2 verse 4 states, "I say to Yahweh, He is my refuge, my fortress, my God, who will save you from the snares of the bird hunter and from the plague; He will cover you with his collar; His integrity will be a shield and a shield of his hand."
How good are these words? Think of them in your heart. This is what is true and true. God does not lie because he is not a life, and he is not a man. He will make good on what he has said. Psalm 91 verse 4 says, "He will cover you with his collar, and your integrity will be a shield and a shield of your hand."

2. Don't be surprised, because I am your God
The Bible says, "Don't be surprised, I will be your God." We have to think about our special relationship with God. We vaguely think, "God is the God who built heaven, earth, and everything," and "What interest does that great God have in life like me? How will God take care of me like I know God?" There are many people who doubt it like that. However, in the Bible, "Don't be surprised, I become your God. I am the God who built heaven, earth, and everything like this, but I am your God." He said, "You seem to be a man who doesn't know much about anyone, but I am still your God." It means that God recognizes us. Therefore, you have to think about the special relationship between God and me.
In Book 3:5:7, he writes, "You have saved us, but you have made us wash up of sentient beings and renewed the Holy Spirit through his mercy, not through the righteous deeds we have done. Because of our Lord Jesus Christ, we have poured into us the Holy Spirit in abundance so that we can receive righteousness through his grace and become heirs according to the wishes of eternal life." Through these words, we can see that God loves us hot when we think of the sacrifice of Jesus, the poisonous creature, to save us. Therefore, we have a deep relationship with God who gave birth spiritually. Therefore, the Lord on the cross has endured the pain and liquidated all our sins, injustice, ugliness, curses, despair and death, so now his love and salvation flow like a river. Anyone who calls your name will be saved. Think of the God in this world. You must never remember that this God is not a God who will say that he does not easily know us in pain and have a clear heart before God.

3. I'll make you strong
God sees us and says, "I will make you strong." Weak people commit suicide because they are weakened through economic crises, and families are broken because they are unstable domestically, and young people are anxious, so we go out and demonstrate. When anxiety approaches this world, it becomes weaker and atrophy. Anxiety and fear make us weak. When Moses returned from Gadesbana to Canaan after forty days of spying and reporting, ten spies, except Joshua and Caleb, said in Minus 13:32:33, "The land we perished in front of the Israelites was the land where we devoured, and all the people we saw there were those who were tall and saw the giants of the Anak descendants, the descendants of Nephirim, and they must have been like locusts to themselves." In this way, everything is viewed negatively with frustration and despair. The result of this fear was disastrous.
In Joshua 1:9, God tells Joshua, the new leader who will succeed Moses, "Be strong and be bold, do not be afraid. Wherever I go, your God, Yahweh, will be with you." God is a good God. Good things happen in God's presence. They are giving strength, giving hope, and giving dreams. There are no negative words. They are saying only positive, positive, active, creative, and productive things. Our people must listen to this very voice of God and resemble God. That way we can live, and those who listen to and follow us will live.

4. I will hold you with my righteous right hand
God history through Jesus Christ, and Jesus is the one who carried and bound the cross for us and me in this earth. God is saying that he will hold us up through Jesus. God does not hold us up through Jesus. God holds us up because Jesus is with us, and God is on my side and my God because Jesus is in us. Therefore, we do not know how amazing it is that Jesus loves us and is in us. Jesus said, "I will not abandon you like an orphan, but come to you." Jesus is God who is with us. Jesus is with the Holy Spirit and the Father. Jesus is resurrected and is now in God's assistance mail and is in us as the Holy Spirit.
Galatians 2:20 write, "I am crucified with Christ. That is, I am no longer living. Because Christ lives only in me, now that I live in the middle of my body is to live in faith in the Son of God who loves me and has abandoned himself for me." Christ and we are united. Jesus' death, my resurrection, my resurrection, my ascension, my ascension, my assistance, we must not forget that we are united with Christ. Jesus has no defeat. He is the Lord who has abolished all death through the cross and allowed us to give plus forever. When anyone is in Christ, everything is always united to achieve good. That is why the Lord can be our good shepherd.
Even when the pain of the cross that killed Jesus approaches, the history of life that resurrected him appears in us, so we will prevail. Therefore, we must be those who look at God and win today. Only true Christians can overcome anxiety and fear and live with peace and boldness. "Don't be afraid, because I am with you. Don't be surprised, because I am your God. I will make you strong. I will really help you. I will hold you with my righteous right hand," God tells us today.

-Prayers-
God of love! I confess that God is the only refuge in this painful and dangerous world. Pour us the courage to fight off fear and the ability to overcome crises!
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Aman!
