Philippians 4:8 says if you want the peace of God, think about whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. But if you had enough control over your thoughts to do that, you wouldn't have an anxiety problem in the first place. How is Philippians 4:8 practical in times of runaway, out-of-control thoughts? Certified biblical counselor Dr. D. Richard Ferguson draws on 25 years of pastoral ministry and counseling to provide practical application of the principles in God's Word on the topic of anxiety.
