Are you trying to accomplish things for God without praying for God’s will and God’s strength?

Jesus was constantly pouring himself into others. He was either teaching his disciples, preaching or he was healing those who were sick. He was all about his Father’s business—but there were times he needed to go away. Jesus did this often, and we can find mention of him going away and praying more than five different times in scripture.

Gratitude is a weapon to fight fear and anxiety. Even in your need, choose to worship God anyway. Sometimes we have to remind our soul, our mind, and our circumstances of who our God is. This is something you have to do daily! You have to choose to be thankful when you feel like you are going through the worst time of your life. Being thankful changes your focus! It gets your focus off of the circumstances, and gets it on God.

When we pray, it activates trust in God and shows Him that we are patient and willing to wait on Him instead of trying to fix it ourselves.

When we pray about situations over our life, we are handing God the situation and letting Him solve it. That is so freeing! When we reach that point, we simply allow ourselves to release our hold on it and subconsciously tell God we trust Him to solve it.

Do you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Do you feel like the pain within is never going to end? Do you feel like the anxiety that you feel inside just seems like it’s never going to let up? How do you fix it? By being God-minded.

In this episode we’re also talking about the bondage of the mind. When we are fully His, when we know who we are in Christ, it sets us free to be who God made us to be. The way we see ourselves and the way we think about ourselves affects so many things in our life. God never intended for us to be broken and to be slaves to this life!

A young lady shoved into public and her sin displayed for the whole temple in Jerusalem to see. A crowd gathered in the temple to see what the Pharisees would do to her. Stoning to death was what was called for by the law, but Jesus had other plans. He wanted to know who would be the first to throw a stone.

Do you ever have days where you feel your emotions are all over the place? Do you feel like you have no control over how you feel? You just wake up one day and you are in a bad mood, and you cannot understand why! You feel like you're lashing out at everyone, you have all these thoughts in your head and you can’t control them!

Your feelings will lie to you, they are deceitful. You must ground yourself in the word of God.

Anxiety is defined as intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Fast heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating, and feeling tired…

But what does God say anxiety is? And how should we react when we encounter anxiety and stress in our lives and it makes things seem unmanageable?
