How To Calm Anxiety, God’s Way! – By Iwalola(Lola) Ademodi

LET US LOOK AS SOME PEACE-FILLED STEPS TO GET RID OF ANXIETY. @highlight

📌SURRENDER YOUR BURDENS TO GOD

This is easier said than done. Our flesh does not want to surrender anything to God.

However, Through the help of the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to be humble and surrender to God out of humility.

1 Peter 5:6-7 AMP describes a pathway to surrender to God.

👉🏾Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride],

👉🏾so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time, casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him,

👉🏾for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. ”

📌REMEMBER YOU’RE NOT ALONE

God, promised to never leave, nor forsake us. In fact He is always with us.

Hebrews 13:5-6 AMP tells us..

“…for He has said,

👉🏾“I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support,

👉🏾nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!” [Read Joshua 1:5]

👉🏾So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently say, “The Lord is my Helper [in time of need],

👉🏾 I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?” [Read Psalm 27:1; 118:6]”

📌DO NOT FEAR, BUT TRUST GOD’S FAITHFULNESS

If allowed, fear will rob us of peace.

Therefore, we must not entertain fear, but trust that God is with us. [Emmanuel]

Isaiah 41:10 AMP instructs…

👉🏾Do not fear [anything], for I am with you;

👉🏾Do not be afraid, for I am your God.

👉🏾I will strengthen you,

👉🏾be assured I will help you;

👉🏾I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’ [Read Acts 18:10]”

📌PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING

Present your requests to God and His peace will guard your heart

.

Philippians 4:6-7 AMP encourages us…

👉🏾Do not be anxious or worried about anything,

but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.

👉🏾And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours].”

📌MEDITATE ON GOD’S WORD AND HIS PROMISES

Psalms 34:4 AMP tells us…

“I sought the Lord [on the authority of His word], and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. [Read Ps 73:25; Matt 7:7]”

Trusting God Brings Peace to Anxious Hearts.

NOW LET US PRAY
