Anxiety

Philippians 4:6-7

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁶ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; ⁷ and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I have written on this scripture before, but it’s worth repeating. Anxiousness is a feeling that everyone has felt at least one time in their lives, however it doesn’t mean that we should stay in it. I am a prime example of how anxiety has grabbed a hold of me in reoccurring situations or new situations.

Anxiety tries to creep up on you any chance it can get, even if it’s about something you have already had experience with-it’ll come in a form of a thought “What if I can’t do it right this time?”. It’s those type of thoughts that causes you to feed into it by agreeing with it and slowly running through a list of “what ifs” and how whatever it is can go wrong rather than what could go right.

Philippians 4:6-7 is a scripture to meditate on if you are dealing with anxiety and want to break free from this.
