Weakness and suffering aren't obstacles to navigate around. Instead, they are a planned means of Christ-conformity, they provide opportunities for deep spiritual growth, and they enable profound shaping to the image of Christ.
In this post, we'll consider anxiety and relationship with God using a Biblical example of how God uses weakness and suffering to teach us to trust.

Though it does feel as if anxiety breaks into our souls like a thief, he doesn’t seem to want to take something and go. He stays. He lingers.
