You will struggle with anxiety until you understand this…
Experience lasting peace.
There are hundreds of Scriptures that tell us to not be anxious or afraid. Here are just a few:
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. -Isaiah 41:10
Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. -Joshua 1:9
The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life — of whom shall I be afraid? -Psalm 27:1
“I am leaving you with a gift — peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” -John 14:27
What do these Scriptures tell us about why we do not need to be anxious?
God is with us.
God is our light, salvation, and stronghold.
God gives us the gift of peace (a gift the world cannot give).
Overcoming anxiety and experiencing lasting, consistent peace happens when we make our relationship with God the number one priority in our lives.
No amount of therapy, journaling, self-help books, yoga, meditation, or even medication will set you free from anxiety for good.
And as long as you give your attention and affection to the things of the world, even partially, lasting peace will illude you.
Because God is the only source of true peace.
Give your attention and affection to Him, and believe His promises, and you will experience lasting peace.
Keep your eyes locked on the King…
