Gospel Reflections #719: When crushed by anxiety and fear

Zechariah 6:12 "He will rebuild the temple of the Lord."

Zechariah was called by God to urge the Jews to resume construction of the temple, which had been halted due to opposition from enemies who had suddenly arrived.

Zechariah was called at a time of great anxiety and distress.

Zechariah's message, describing God's plan of work and restoration, was designed to inspire the waning enthusiasm of the Jews.

Can we trust God at all times?

Have we ever chosen to give up even though we believe in God?

When we are on the verge of giving up, we lose our sense of God and are crushed by anxiety and fear.

God knows how weak and fragile our hearts are, so when we fail to seek Him, He provides us with the person we need.

We can return to Him with the help, prayers, and support of God's family.

And those who are helped will be led to those who help.

God plans for each one of us to be irreplaceable, so that none of us will be complete without the other.

Therefore, when we need help, we can ask for it without hesitation or guilt.

God will make it a blessing for everyone involved.

Because we share the blessings from God with everyone, the blessings fill us with joy and open the way for us to share the blessings.
