Anxiety—A Silent Assassin

Most of us recognize the word “anxiety” and have pre-conceived ideas about what it is. Often, the words “fear” and “stress” come to mind when this subject enters a conversation, and that’s absolutely right. But is there something else going on here? Could there be a more diabolical, spiritual plan at work by the enemy to enslave us with his lies about what negative events might happen to us?

Yes, absolutely.

The bible gives us so much hope and is the only real antidote to anxiety. Most human beings battle this affliction in some way, shape, or form. Anxiety will absolutely rob you of your joy and diminish your life. But sometimes, people don’t even know they’re experiencing it. So how can we fight against this invisible enemy? What, exactly, is going on here? Perhaps this:

“Very often, anxiety is a boxing match between ourselves and the ghosts of what might be, not what actually is. This flavor of anxiety is often a made-up, pugilistic endeavor which exists only in the mind. Anxiety takes something that’s within the realm of possibility and drops it into the ring to go a few rounds with us. It’s a false echo of what’s merely possible, and it entices us to go ahead and begin the process of fighting against it—even though it’s not actually real. It’s shadow boxing with an enemy that’s most often a mere mirage of reality. It’s shadow boxing with ghosts. And it’s totally unnecessary.”
