The Lie That Fuels Your Anxiety (and How to Defeat It) | Turning The Tide

As we close out our Turning the Tide series, we’re addressing one of the biggest lies that fuels worry and anxiety: “I am the only one left.” When life feels heavy and isolating, God’s Word reminds us—we are never truly alone. This week, we discover how to reconnect to People, Purpose, and Presence to experience lasting peace.📖 Key Scriptures:1 Kings 19:9–10 (NLT) — Elijah believed he was alone, but God reminded him he wasn’t.Colossians 2:2 (NLT) — Be knit together by strong ties of love.Psalm 68:6 (NLT) — God places the lonely in families.Matthew 6:25–27 (NLT) — Don’t worry about your life—God values and provides for you.Jeremiah 42:1–4 (NLT) — Seek God’s direction and trust His voice.2 Corinthians 5:18–20 (NLT) — We are Christ’s ambassadors, bringing reconciliation to the world.Psalm 139:7–10 (NLT) — You can never escape His presence.Hebrews 13:5–6 (NLT) — God will never fail or abandon you.Psalm 23:6 (ESV) — His goodness and mercy will follow you all your days.💡 Key Themes:Reconnect to People: God designed us for community, not isolation. Find others who share your values, goals, and faith—because healing and strength are found in connection.Reconnect to Purpose: Don’t let worry rob you of why you’re here. You were created for impact—called to seek God’s Kingdom, serve others, and live for something bigger than yourself.Reconnect to Presence: God is always with you—guiding, strengthening, and comforting you through every season. His presence is the antidote to loneliness and fear.❤️ Main Truth: There is nothing in the Word of God that validates the thought that you are alone. He surrounds you with His people, fills you with His purpose, and promises His presence forever.🕊️ Final Reflection: At the end of the day, we all face a choice:Hold onto control and be filled with worry.Trust God to control and be filled with peace.Cypress Church, located in Columbus, Ohio, is a vibrant, welcoming church dedicated to helping lead people to Christ and provide steps to follow after him.
