  1. Anxiety results in heaviness of heart and provides no relief to the situation.
    1. “What good is worrying?”
    2. Proverbs 12:25
    3. Job 6:2-3
    4. I’m not implying that Job’s situation isn’t painful, just simply that the anxiety that he is feeling provided no relief.  There is no relief in anxiety.  We must find another way.
    5. We must live by faith and not by sight.  Anxiety pulls us down when we focus on what MIGHT BE rather than what IS.
      1. Alot of times throughout life we will find ourselves describing the world around us, to ourselves. We end up speaking all the negative things around us and therefore digging them deeper into our psyche.
      2. Psalm 73:1-3
      3. Psalm 142:4-5
      4. Job 23:8-10
      5. Philippians 4:8 finally brethren...
      6. 2 Timothy 1:7 ...spirit of fear…
      7. Anxiety is real.  What Is the proper response?
        1. Give the problem to God and ask for His help.
        2. 1 Peter 5:7
        3. Philippians 4:6
        4. Isaiah 41:10-13
        5. Generally, anxiety is linked to envy and jealousy.
          1. Proverbs 24:19-20
          2. Isaiah 41:10-13
          3. God’s sufficiency is more than enough for our every concern and need.
            1. 2 Corinthians 12:9
            2. Ephesians 1:3
            3. Philippians 4:13-19
            4. Romans 8:32
            5. Trusting God’s sovereignty replaces anxiety with peace.  He does have our best interest at heart, we just have to submit to His will.
              1. Isaiah 26:3-4
              2. Psalm 139:16  no
              3. Isaiah 45:5-7 ...he makes peace…
              4. Knowing this...God has your life laid out.  It's all been done, just follow Him and allow his peace to replace that anxiety.
                1. Jeremiah 29:11-13
                2. Matthew 6:33-34
                3. John 14:1-3
                4. James 4:15
                5. God can and will use any situation for good, even those that trouble us.
                  1. Romans 8:28
                    • Hannah, anxious because she was childless, 1 Samuel 1
                    • Jeremiah, concerned about committing to God’s plan to purchase property, Jeremiah 32:24-27
                    • David, realizing he must focus on God and not his enemies, Psalm 13
