Anxiety and Worry
Philippians 4:6-7
“Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ([a]definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
7And God’s peace [shall be yours, that [b]tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall [c]garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
Worry is an entertaining habit for some people. But if we are like that we should know that we are sinning in the sight of God. We have to learn to live lives without any care. When we get to the state where we are not disturbed about anything, we will find great peace and joy in the Lord. We have to surrender everyday our cares and worries to the Lord. We have to cast our burden on the Lord and believe that He will take care of everything. Faith is something that God really delights in and He will bless you richly when you learn to trust Him for everything in life.
Be Anxious For Nothing
As a Christian we are not to be fearful of anything. Everything has to vanish before faith in God. Shall tribulation or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword separate us from the love of God. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Christ. We must not be afraid to face and endure anything for Christ. We never worry because we know that through everything we are going to come out victorious and as overcomers. All things are subject to Christ whether they be principalities or powers. Christ has overcome and we share in His victory. Jesus said to his disciples, “Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” And the One who overcame the world lives in us. We can believe that God will give us grace to go through anything. Nothing can crush us. Nothing can defeat us as long as we have faith in God. Christ endured the cross experiencing the pain of death because He had entrusted His spirit to His Father. He knew that all things were possible with God even the resurrection from the dead into a glorious future. All things work for the glory of God when we put our trust in Him and entrust our lives to Him. We should not be fearful and anxious about anything. There are no coincidences in the life of a Christian. There is nothing called luck. Everthing is ordained by our Father. We have to trust Him always even through the hard times and rest in the eternal arms of God our Father.
