Day 4: Unanxious
You see it coming
and you don't do anything to stop it
because you believe the arrow of ANXIETY is just part of life.
Therefore,
ANXIETY becomes an OPTION
&
I will be
ANXIOUS
about everything, in every circumstance.
I won't talk to GOD about what is bothering me.
I won't ask HIM to do anything about it.
I will continue to complain.
I will focus on whatever is false, unwholesome, wrong, impure, ugly, and unworthy,
& then I will be
ANXIOUS
about everything, in every circumstance...
Therefore
I won't talk to GOD about what is bothering me.
I won't ask HIM to do anything about it.
I will continue to complain.
I will focus on whatever is false, unwholesome, wrong, impure, ugly, and unworthy.
Hmmm...
I guess I will always be
ANXIOUS
when ANXIETY IS AN OPTION.
What are you ANXIOUS about? How do you try to get UN~ANXIOUS?
What if I told you
"DO NOT BE" ANXIOUS?
Do the words "DO NOT BE" carry the power to take away your ANXIETY?
Actually, those words bring more ANXIETY
because it is so hard "NOT TO BE" in the midst of being
ANXIOUS.
BUT GOD
just doesn't just tell us to
"DO NOT BE"
because HE desires to be part of the process.
What happens when you & I do it HIS WAY~
Today I will
NOT BE ANXIOUS About Anything,
No matter the circumstance
because
I will talk to GOD about what is bothering me.
I will ask HIM to do something about it.
I will thank HIM for all HE has done and for all who HE is.
I will focus on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable.
Then the
"PEACE OF GOD
that transcends all understanding
Will guard my heart and mind IN CHRIST JESUS" (Philippians 4)
HIS PEACE overrides ANXIETY.
PEACE with GOD because of JESUS CHRIST
that is beyond anything that we could ever imagine
when it covers our ANXIOUS heart.
PEACE~
in the midst of a storm.
PEACE~
in the midst of pain.
PEACE~
in the midst of the unknown.
HIS PEACE~
crushes
ANXIETY
because
ANXIETY IS NO LONGER AN OPTION
when we
"SURRENDER ALL" (listen to the song below)
