This Christmas, let's focus on the true meaning of Christmas: The birth of Jesus Christ and the gift of salvation. Remember that God is in control and has a plan for your life. That can be easier said than done. Sometimes we get caught up in circumstances. Today we will outline some ways to combat those feelings:

• Spend time in prayer and Bible study: This will help you connect with God and find peace in His presence.
• Practice gratitude: Focus on the blessings in your life, rather than the things that are causing you anxiety.
• Set realistic expectations: Don't try to do everything perfectly. Focus on what is most important to you and let go of the rest.
• Take care of yourself: Get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, and exercise regularly.
• Seek support from others: Talk to your friends, family, or a pastor about your anxiety.
• Remember that you are not alone: Many people experience anxiety during the holidays. There is hope and help available.

Remember, God is good!
