Episode 8: Anxiety

from Clay Branches Hosted by Jill

Praise – “Rejoice in the Lord always…” Start by worshiping God. Praise shifts your focus. Others – “Let your gentleness be evident…” Anxiety can turn us inward. Look outward and serve. Stop – “Do not be anxious about anything…” Interrupt the spiral of worry. Pray – “Present your requests to God…” Be honest. He cares. Praise Sandwich - "With thanksgiving" Rest – “The peace of God… will guard your hearts…” Peace doesn’t always make sense, but it’s real. Filter and Flip – “Whatever is true… think about such things.” Replace lies with truth. Practice and Repeat – “Put it into practice…” Do it again. And again. Food for thought: What’s been troubling you lately? What lie is the enemy whispering? What “what if” can you turn into an “even if”? Take some time this week to journal, surrender it to God, and choose praise.
