“The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.” –George Mueller

Anxiety is usually the result of focusing on the "what ifs" of life - the worst-case scenarios of life that we often focus on that lead us into the torment of worry and fear. Kim Reichhelm, a name synonymous with the sport of extreme snow skiing was asked, "How do you keep from crashing into the trees?". Her answer was simple, "I keep my eyes on the spaces between the trees." Instead of focusing on what she didn’t want to hit, Kim focused on where she wanted to go.

Wow, what an inspiring principle for us to live by as believers. What if we focused more on where we want to go instead of all the things that seem to be in our way? What if we set our eyes on the path between those obstacles? The path that is filled with His blessings, protection, and provision, as outlined in His written Word that is securely ours for the taking. What if the worst thing never happens? What if God sends something great, something you never dreamed could happen, what if you anticipated the supernatural intervention of God? The journey would sure be sweeter and your arrival at your final destination certain indeed. Simply because you learned to "think” between the trees.

"... Make up your mind not to worry beforehand."  Luke 21:14
