Pastor Robert J. Morgan began by noting that there are numerous kinds of anxiety and every one of us is affected. Anxiety comes in the form of tension, there's worry, anxiousness, we fretting and sometimes our minds are obsessed with various fears. In short, anxiety is a disease of the mind when we are troubled.
He provided numerous examples from Scripture to help all of us in our battles with anxiety, particularly in the area of knowing what it truly means to rejoice in the Lord. Examples he referenced included Hannah, David, Habakkuk, and Paul. However, there's more as rejoicing in the Lord means rejoicing in God's presence, pardon, provision, protection, guidance, and his promises for the future.
The key is moving from the what "ifs" of life to the what "is." You can do that when you discover how Scripture views the following 7 habits that we should develop: dependence, nearness, gratitude, thinking, influence, gentleness, and peace.
So get ready to learn how to put worry and anxiety in their place.
