Good instructions are game changers. This passage is one of my favorite anti-anxiety verses. It does not simply say "don't worry." It provides instructions for managing the worry struggle.
"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 peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:6-7 NLT
How to not worry?
- Pray about everything:(pause for that semicolon) Have you prayed about it with focus and tenacity?
- Have you told God what you need, or think you need?
- Have you thanked him for all He has done thus far? (Gratitude crushes anxiety.)
- Do you invite His peace to be your peace?
Believe me, I am still learning this lesson... daily at times.
Today, I am grateful for good instructions.
