In this episode of "In the Word, On the Go," children's pastor and New York Times best-selling author, Joshua Cooley, discusses how Philippians 4:5-7 guides our hearts away from anxiety. Joshua says that when facing difficulties, our hearts lie to us and say: "You've got problems? Good luck with that. You better try to fix your problems yourself, because you're not going to get any help. It's all up to you. Do everything in your limited power to solve the issue. Who knows how long this trial is going to last? And you're not going to have a moment's peace until this terrible ordeal ends somehow."
