The battle with anxiety

I've been noticing that the more I say to myself I have to live with anxiety the more I am losing the battle. God never intended us to live with anxiety. However cured or not I am realizing that praising God is not contingent upon my circumstances. Psalm 78:18 is a verse about Israelites while they were in the desert. It says, "They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved." Rather than thanking God for what He had done for them they demanded more. While I read this I said to myself wow how can they do that yet I am doing that. I think it's time to just say God thank you for everything you have and have not done for me. You know what is good and bad for me. Thank you for being God.
