When we feel anxiety, we are often tempted to think that knowing what will happen would make us feel better. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus knew what was going to happen, but knowing didn’t relieve his anxiety. Knowing didn’t make it easier. Where did Jesus turn for relief? He confided in his believing friends. He told them he wasn’t OK and asked for their help. He turned to his Father and told God what God already knew—how he was feeling and what he was afraid of. Jesus understands anxiety. And more than anything else, Jesus trusted. He knew the future and he could do anything, but he trusted. The one who knew what we wish we could know, and could have done all the things we wish we could do, trusted instead. He earned righteousness for us as he contemplated his sacrifice for us. The best remedy for anxiety is not to know the future like God does, but to know that God knows and to trust him
