Take a piece of wax, some meat, some sand, some clay, some wood shavings and thro them all into the fire.
Let us then see how they react.
One instantly melts, one starts frying, one hardens, one dries up and one blazes.
And yet think about it…every one of them is acted on by the same force.
Just so, under identical influences of circumstance and environment, one person becomes weaker, one becomes stronger, another withers away.
So then it seems the conclusion may be drawn that it is not always what happens in life so much as who it happens to.
Some people make mountains out of molehills and some have that majestic quality of making molehills out of mountains.
One of the hardest things to achieve, when anxiety comes to call, is that balance between uncontrolled hysteria and unrealistic self-control.

The Bible refers to it as “the peace that passeth understanding.” And this is what, when the walls come crashing down, Christ can bring. Control in the midst of uncontrol.
The cause of our anxiety may not go away. The pain may still be very real. But we are not the same person we were before we said and meant, “Here am I, Lord, take me.”
