These are some practical yet biblical ways to combat worry and anxiety: Focus on God’s Promises Meditate day and night on His promises found in scripture. Take inventory of everything that He has done for you in times past. Allow His holy word to strengthen your faith and give you reassurance. 1. Now I am fully aware that this is so much easier said than done because at the end of the day we are human and have real emotions and feelings. As a Christ follower we have supernatural power. The HOLY SPIRIT! We must tap into that power each and every day. We must submit our will and emotions to Him. It’s miraculous what happens when we lay everything down at His feet.
Matthew 6:33 - “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” As believers our job is to trust and obey Him. He knows the beginning to the end. For me, that brings me so much peace knowing that He is TRULY in control of every aspect of my life as long as I allow Him. What a liberating feeling!
2.
Talk to Jesus Tell Him what you need and thank Him for all that He has done. Gratitude helps shift your focus away from worry and redirects it towards recognizing God’ s faithfulness and goodness. It truly cancels out worry, fear and anxiety. These emotions can’t coexist together. 1 Peter 5:7 - Cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you. Seek Godly Counsel It is amazing what happens when you can process your worry and anxiety with other believers. Sometimes all it takes is a fresh, Godly perspective to transform your mindset.
3.
Proverbs 11:14 - Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
The Bible is the greatest road map for all believers. There are a plethora of scriptures that combat worry. I encourage you to please read the Word, meditate on it, pray to Jesus, and seek counsel from the greatest Counselor, The Holy Spirit. He loves you and has amazing plans for you! I will leave you with my favorite scripture of all time.
