Turning From Anxiety To Thankfulness
ENGLISH
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. — Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious? That's a pretty sharp command. And then Paul accentuates this command with the phrase — "about anything." Really? Is that even possible? To not be anxious about anything?
This means you can't be anxious about:
- Media propaganda.
- Family issues.
- Government mandates.
- Growing health concerns.
- Hyperinflation.
- Supply chain issues.
- Or being with your family on Thanksgiving.
And this is what Paul means. That is the way we are supposed to live — anxiety-free. But, Paul does not leave us without a method for addressing the madness when anxiety arises in our life. Because we are not commanded to ignore our anxiety but to address it. And the way we address it is we let God annihilate it. And we do this by presenting our concerns to God. Because you see, God is anxious for our anxiety. He wants to hear about it, and he wants us to give them over to him and stop bearing the load of them ourselves because they distract us from things of eternal value.
So stop bearing the load of your anxiety and start giving it to God. And don't bother yourself with the concern that the world projects at you. Stop seeking natural solutions when you need supernatural intervention. Your efforts are futile. Call on God, who provides solutions that allow you to live thankfully and be anxious no more.

I am anxious about my health issues—-my latest A1C reading is high, so I need prayer to control it. Also anxious about my workplace as we are in transition from one company to another. It has not been going well, but I am hoping the situation will be straightened out.
I am praying that God speak into my marriage. As I sometimes struggle with my CPTSD and want to share with my wife what is bothering me in our relationship but, I have found that she takes it personal. I am learning that when I have these struggles, although they are not as frequent as in the past, I have to give it God.

Anxious about Thanksgiving next week and trying to make everyone happy!
This verse has been on my mind and on my heart so much these days. I am juggling multiples jobs, contemplating a career change, trying to be a better husband and father, and experiencing some neck issues that cause me to physically feel tension in body most of the day. Knowing I am not supposed to be anxious actually makes me feel worse because I know it shouldn’t be this way. Praying for physical, emotional, and spiritual relief! Giving it to God seems easier said than done, especially when the circumstances remain.

Thanks, Vince for that Scripture (Phil 4:6) that I need to remember daily. As a business owner and a single-again older adult, there are tendencies to be anxious quite frequently. Experientially, when I really trust Him and ask Him for guidance and even specific answers, He provides every time, and sometimes in unexpected ways.
My pending divorce.
I am always filled with anxiety when i have to stand before a congregation to proclaim the word of God . forgetting that the spoken or preach word is God’s word and that His word will accomplish what He want to accomplish in the life of the hearers.
Sheldon, Hello Cross Lake brother. I will be praying that God will give you peace in speaking His words to others.
