[The Glory Unveiled]
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ( Philippians 4:6 )
Anxiety is one of the six killer diseases in adults. It has lured many to an untimely death. So here, we are given a panacea; one that will silence anxiety and its effect. And thus, avoiding the anxiety itself. Anytime we are told in scriptures not to do something, it means we have the ability or knowledge not to do it. So in the verse of scripture above, we are shown how to avoid anxiety problems. It says we should pray our worries and needs to God with thanksgiving. If we do that, faith tells us that God has taken over the burden and if God has taken it we needn’t worry again. Worrying after handing over our problems and worries to God is an indication of doubt. But if we believe in God, we would also believe that our burdens are taken care of and we will not be anxious again. And then the results that will ensue is peace; the kind that transcends all understanding. And where peace dwells, anxiety cannot stay.
Prayer_Bead: Father in heaven, thank you for showing me the way out of anxiety. Guide my mind and heart and help me to lay my needs at your feet in prayer.
