No More Anxiety!
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by Prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
(Philippians 4:6-7)
Anxiety is a common human phenomenon often associated with worry. We all at one time or another become anxious and worried or uneasy about our expectations, fears, challenges and at times life in general.
In the reflection of our text today, the Lord knows how anxiety can rob us of peace and hence commands us not to be anxious about anything. Whether the challenge is small or big, anxiety and worry never solves it, but we are enjoined to turn over worry to the Lord in Prayer.
Instead of worrying, Pray! As we Pray over what causes us worry or anxiety, the Lord takes charge.
What Happens when we turn our anxiety & worry to the Lord in Prayer?
1. We cease to worry. God wants to cease your worry and anxiety.
2. God wants you to be filled with Peace. It’s certain that where worry and anxiety is, peace is absent. You can not be anxious and have peace at the same time. God is interested in not just giving answers to our problems and challenges, he is interested in how we feel when going through those challenges. He desires as we wait for the answer, our hearts and minds are kept in Peace.
3. God is able to meet your need or challenge. Having Prayed over your anxieties and worries and attained Peace, believe God will answer and intervene over your situation! No more worry and anxiety, if we can Pray!
