Is it a sign of no faith to be anxious about future even though I know Bible says not to fear?

Most of us have fears and doubts at different times. You can bet that during the Worldwide Depression of the 1930's and with the horrors of WW II that followed, that fear and anxiety was rampant. I dare say that few Christians are completely relaxed about the future, even in the 2010's. Happy 2018 by the way! May God give us all a sense of peace today.

I know Bible says not to have anxiety and to always trust G-d(we are more valuable than sparrows,ecc) but I can't feel completely relaxed about future ,especially job ( I am still at university)
Not a sign of no faith, but a sign of uncertainty. Philippians 4:19

No matter how surrendered we aspire to be we still have responsibilities which carry consequences with them. It is always easy to see God's hand perfectly arranging events in hindsight but it really is quite terrifying walking the tightrope blindfolded and simply reminding ones self that God is right there when we start wobbling. No advice, only empathy. Everything will happen as it is meant to according to the perfect divine planning of Lord Jesus Christ, that is for sure :twohearts:

Well, there was a time that Jesus was so emotionally distressed that he sweated blood.

It's been a real battle of my faith lately.
Two operations coming up soon -- one real scary one.
I hate this feeling and thinking weak in my faith.
