Ever wonder why anxiety is present in your life on a consistent basis, no matter what you do it’s here today, not gone tomorrow. Well, you should ask yourself, what is really going on? Why can I overcome this feeling of dread?
The Relationship
One of the biggest questions people will search an answer for is, How do I stop worrying? It doesn’t matter who you are or claim to be, this question or the thought of it will undoubtedly, subconsciously arise. There are so many resources available that will help for the moment, or give some short-term aide, and sometimes we must take advantage, rather it be medications, counseling, or the like. A long-term aide resides in a true, authentic relationship with our heavenly father. I have heard and found it to be true, the best remedy to anxiety is to live with the Lord daily to establish a lifestyle of prayer. We must ensure that the first person, remedy, advice, love that we seek is from God.
Prayer is your Antidote
To replenish and renew yourself with the living water, brings one of my favorite scriptures to lean on or hide in my heart. Philippians 4:6-7 tells us, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peaceful guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus”. ( NLT)
This what I would like you to take away from this message…
The keys words in this scripture to follow and understand are you must Pray- send up a petition of your request through Jesus name. As well, we should have a heart of Gratitude- being thankful for all. In addition, expect Peace- know that solitude and harmony will come forth, it may not be in your understanding, but be assured it will. Guard-God’s power will allow you to endure, keeping anxieties from your heart.
