Healing for anxiety

1 Peter 5:7 NIV

Paul wrote: "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" (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT). Jesus said: "Don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need" (Matthew 6:31-33 NLT). Instead of meditating on our problems, we need to meditate on how good and loving our God really is.

When we keep our minds on our problems, we create anxiety. But when we keep our minds on the promises of God, we get infused with His peace. So, allow the promises of God to heal your soul of worry and stress by focusing on His goodness and willingness to show Himself strong on your behalf. "The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him" (2 Chronicles 16:9 NLT).

Our heavenly Father loves us dearly and already knows everything we need. When we take hold of that truth, fear and doubt fall by the wayside. Confession: "I don't give in to needless worry. I pray about problems rather than complain about them. God hears my prayers, and I thank Him for all He has provided for me. I experience God's peace because I know He hears me and has already answered my prayers in Christ."

Soul food: Acts 16-17; Matt 4:18-25; Ps 7:10-17; Prov 11:7-9
