The PROBLEM with Anxiety it pollutes the mind and heart, contaminating it with fears, despairs, doubting God and His Word, turning aside from seeking first His Kingdom and righteouness in our circumstances, when we choose to yield to it is that we end with it DOMINATING our thoughts, DISPLACING God and His Word as our goal and guide.

We keep going over and over the PROBLEM as though God doesn’t exist and if He does, He either doesn’t care or is unable to help! That’s how we live when we END with The PROBLEM PREOCCUPYING our mind rather than the PROBLEM SOLVER! GOD, and HIS WORD!

It takes faith in Him and His PRESCRIPTION to cleanse and disinfect the mind and heart with God’s provision as we choose to obey Him and stop worrying instead through, “… prayer- supplication – with thanksgiving – requests be …MADE KNOWN TO GOD.” As you do so, you are giving evidence of who you are trusting. And the outcome, the fruit will be – GROWTH and GROUNDING in SPIRITUAL STABILITY…. and THE PEACE OF GOD GUARDING YOUR MIND AND HEART!

STOP WORRYING, START PRAYING!

STOP WORRYING- You have the capacity to do so, by replacing these destructive, polluting thoughts with what He says in Philippians 4:6

START PRAYING WITH THANKS – Replace the worrying thoughts with turning to God in prayer! Note in the verse he mentions four aspects of prayer- The word “Prayer” uses in this verse speaks of adoration, reverence, worship. So, STOP WORRYING START WORSHIPING! The other three words used are “Supplication- Thanksgiving- Requests!”

AND THE PROMISE?

THE PEACE OF GOD GUARDING YOUR HEART AND MIND IN CHRIST JESUS! -{Read Philippians4:6-7}

Anxiety is a temptation to distrust and so dishonor God, It is not your master, You do not have to bow down and accept it’s evil.  

“Sin is no longer your master,…” -{Romans 6:14.}

The LORD Jesus Christ is your Master, and has set you free not only from the penelty of sin but the power including submitting and serving anxiety! You are free. Temptation will still call to you but you do not have to answer and submit to its call, instead, you can answer God’s call in Philippians 4:6-7 and live in the peace of God!

 It comes down to A CHOICE to obey Anxiety or the Almighty. Trust our feelings or His Word- the Facts!
  • ANXIETY POLLUTES THE MIND AND HEART- with fear, despair, turning aside from seeking first the Kingdom of God,  doubting God, displacing His Word. Living by destructive feelings and not the truth of God.
  • PRAYER SANITIZES IT RESULTING IN
  • THE PEACE OF GOD
  • GUARDING YOUR HEART AND MIND FOR ALL THOSE “IN CHRIST JESUS” and that includes YOU and me. That’s Good news.

Memorize, meditate, apply…Philippians 4:6-7

“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours].”-{Philippians 4:6-7 Amplified Bible}
