A Little Encouragement - April 20,2009

Anxiety

Whether we have been a Christian for 6 months or 60 years, we can experience anxiety. It helps to take a big breath of air, take one step back, and identify the factors causing fear or worry. We should take the matter to God, ask Him for wisdom to handle it, then thank Him for the answer. When we had seriously done that, we then release it into God's hands, and we will calm down.

God's Word says:

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6,7 (New International Version)
