The world is filled with people struggling with the fears caused by variables to numerous to list and these fears cause a great deal of anxiety in many people. The answer is always close at hand as close as your bible or as close as the floor where you can kneel to lift up all of your cares to God the Father. Jesus promised never to leave or forsake you now all you have to do is trust Him. The following is an excerpt from a book by an accomplished pastor and author.
Just as Matthew 6 is Jesus’ great statement on worry, Philippians 4 is the Apostle Paul’s charter on how to avoid anxiety. Those passages are the most comprehensive portions of Scripture dealing with our topic, and therefore are foundational to understanding how God feels about anxiety and why He feels that way. The teaching is clear, compelling, and direct. In Philippians 4:6–9, Paul issued these series of commands:
Paul straightaway said not to worry, but he doesn’t leave us there. He helps us fill the vacuum by directing us toward positive steps: right praying, right thinking, and right action. The best way to eliminate a bad habit is to replace it with a good one, and few habits are as bad as worrying. The foremost way to avoid it is through prayer. Right thinking and action are the next logical steps, but it all begins with prayer.
