Do not be anxious

I received an email from my realtor this afternoon. She tactfully suggested a few changes regarding how our house is organized. We have unconventional pets and have our house set up in a nontraditional manner. I tried to organize the rooms to maximize the space, but other agents have suggested that we try to stage the house more conventionally. I don't think it will work. The radiators limit where furniture can be placed, and a conventional looking house will result in one that looks more cramped in the long run.

Even though I have a logical explanation as to why we can't change things, my gut reaction is anxiety. It might stem from anticipating another disagreement with my ex or just irritation at having to change how we live our lives for the sake of selling the house. Either way, anxiety is sin for which I need to repent.

So as my stomach is gradually becoming unknotted, I need to have this verse burned on my brain:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6
