Paul told the Corinthians that he experienced the "daily pressure of anxiety for all the churches" (2 Corinthians 11:28). Yet here in Philippians 4:6 he told the Philippians that they were not to be anxious about anything. How do we reconcile these two statements?

What is anxiety according to the Bible? Is anxiety always a bad thing? In this study we will look at the use of the word "anxious" in the Bible.

What is our response to the trials that come our way? In Philippians 4:4-6 the apostle Paul encouraged the church of Philippi to rejoice and demonstrate the truth of what they believed through their reasonableness.

In Philippians 4:5-7 the apostle Paul reminds the church of Philipi that while suffering is a normal part of the Christian life they had no cause to be overcome by the circumstance around them.
