Clinging to Anxiety

Genesis 32:22-32

Anxiety is a bit of a paradox. No one wants it, yet it can lead us to deepen our understanding and experience of God. Without any anxiety, we would not be fully human. The problem is not that we experience anxiety, but that we allow it to rule our lives. Jacob lived with a lot of anxiety, but the climactic moment of his life, which redefines him, is also the most anxious moment of his life. Go figure!
