It’s true, God does not want anxiety and fear to rule us. He wants us to be full of joy and peace, you don’t have to believe me, it’s in the book! But let’s look at what it says in the book of Philippians on anxiety.
Philippians 4 vs 6&7.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your prayer be made known to God, and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
So it is good to thank God in all things and ask God for help and he will give us peace! We need not live in fear!
It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day problems, try and fix everything on our own, forgetting to go to the Father, but he is faithful, we can trust in Him!
And Isaiah 41:10 says : Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, yes I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteousness right hand.
That is a promise. But here is the kicker.. you have to believe it, and you have to remember, that He is there, and His promises are true, and they never fail.
Whom shall we fear? No one. So if we meditate on these things, and trust in God’s promises, we can order fear away, and have true victory. And he who believes in the Son of God can have victory.
