Ecclesiastes 9:11-11:6The Search For Meaning | Ecclesiastes

Advent. Prince of Peace! Why am I not feeling it? Instead of peace, anxious weeds keep sprouting in my mind. Anxiety stems from a combination of life experiences, brain chemistry and personality. In our study, Solomon recounts our lack of control over circumstances, people and outcomes. The anxiety caused can, however, become a force that drives us closer to God. How does that work? Let’s take a look.
