Defining Anxiety

Defining Anxiety During this episode of God Resilient with Dr. Latisha Webb, let’s 1. 🛐Pray 2. 💭Process and reflect on what anxiety means from a biblical perspective and overcome anxiety, and 3. 📖Pursue God’s Word in Phil 4:6 and Mat 6:25 Let’s begin this week’s topic of overcoming anxiety by understand what God means by experiencing anxiety. Apo Paul wrote in the epistle to the church of Philippi 4:6, “Don’t worry (or be anxious) about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” According to the Greek translation, semantically, the word used for anxious in this passage of scripture is interchangeable with the word worried. In Phil 4:6, Apo Paul writes in present tense and communicates in his writing not to allow anxiety to function as a customary present, denoting continuing action or an ongoing state. This means that the Apo Paul commanded the church not to engage in a continuous state of anxiety or not to live with ongoing anxious thoughts or feelings. He never stated that we won’t experience moments of anxiety. He directed us to stop anxiety from escalating and taking over our hearts and minds. Mat 6:25 (HCS) “This is why I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing?” _____ Become a God Resilient Member If you are blessed, then become a subscribed member on Spotify for just $2.99/mo.
