Beating Anxiousness with Clarity, Gratitude, and Trust (part1)

Send us a text

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

How many of us have a creeping sense of dread? We can’t specify it but  we have this nebulous  sense of  fear? We worry about our health, our finances, our careers, our social standing, our education, our families, our relationships. So often our worries are a big tangled ball of unspecified angst.

Doing everything by prayer and petition is a call for us to get clear and specific about our concerns.

If we are worried about money, for example, make a list, make a budget. Know exactly how much money you need, how much money you are short, what bills have to be paid, what bills can wait. Be thinking about how you can close the gap by reducing expenses or by increasing income. 

Petitions are clear and specific. Worry begins to evaporate in the face of clarity. 

I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
