Mental health struggles are real – and if you’ve been searching for how to manage anxiety, deal with stress, or just find peace, you’re not alone. But science can’t solve what is spiritual at its core.

This message tackles one of our most pressing struggles: anxiety. Drawing from Philippians 4, we discover that managing anxiety isn't about wishing our circumstances would change, but about making intentional changes in what we allow into our minds and spirits. The apostle Paul's instruction to 'think on these things' - things that are lovely, pure, and of good report - isn't just wishful thinking; it's a practical command we can actually obey.

The key insight here is revolutionary: we become what we feed on. Just as a starved lion loses to a well-fed dog, our anxiety loses power when we stop feeding it through negative media, toxic conversations, and endless streams of fear-inducing content. Instead, when we nourish ourselves with God's Word through meditation - not casual reading, but deep, repetitive chewing like a cow chews its cud - that Word becomes engrafted into our souls. The beautiful imagery from Psalm 1 shows us that meditating on Scripture day and night makes us like trees planted by rivers of water, naturally bearing fruit without struggle. This isn't about striving; it's about positioning ourselves where the life-giving water of God's Word can be absorbed into our very being, transforming us from glory to glory.
