Philippians 4:6-7 (New King James Version)
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Are you ever anxious? Based on the proposed cures, there must be a national epidemic of anxiety. We are promised that vacations will sooth it, gyms promise to sweat it out of us, pills will make it vanish, and personal improvement gurus promise they have the secret of eliminating it.
The truth is that the circumstances of our lives promote heartache, burdens, or trouble.These can not be avoided. However, we can have unshakeable peace during anxious times. The key is to shift our focus from the scary problem onto God. Serenity can’t be manufactured—it’s a gift from our heavenly Father.
The best response to anxiety is prayer. Focus on God puts our problems in perspective while connecting us with the one who has the answers and the power to make them real in our lives.
Don’t be anxious, be blessed.
