The Question That Feeds Anxiety—or Faith

Subscribe to get each episode delivered to your Inbox daily at: https://bttb.org/subscribe2sft Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and Dr. Rob Rhodes. In this episode we explore how to turn worry into prayer — hijacking anxiety’s favorite question, “What if?” — by choosing faith, trusting God, and using prayer as a practical habit for peace. Dr. Rhodes brings a clinical perspective and a real patient story about perseverance and prayer in the face of a serious diagnosis. 4 R Action Steps Read — Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything. . . . present your request to God, and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Reflect — When “what if?” arises, pause, breathe, name the fear, and remind yourself of God’s promise of peace. Ask: What is within my control? Where can I trust God right now? Respond — One-sentence prayer: Lord, thank you that we can bring everything to you in prayer; remind me in anxious moments to turn to you and fill my heart with your peace. Amen. Reveal — Share your one-sentence prayer or this episode’s insight with someone who’s worried, invite them to pray with you, or tell a trusted friend how prayer has helped you persevere.
