God's Cure For Anxiety
Eccelesiates 11:10
So then banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body for youth and visor are meaningless.
Life is sweet to bad men, because they have their portion in this life; it is sweet to good men, because it is the time of preparation for a better; it is sweet to all. Here is a caution to think of death, even when life is most sweet. Solomon makes an effecting address to young persons. They would desire opportunity to pursue every pleasure. Then follow your desires, but be assured that God will call you into judgment. How many give loose to every appetite, and rush into every vicious pleasure! But God registers every one of their sinful thoughts and desires, their idle words and wicked words. If they would avoid remorse and terror, if they would have hope and comfort on a dying bed, if they would escape misery here and hereafter, let them remember the vanity of youthful pleasures. That Solomon means to condemn the pleasures of sin is evident. His object is to draw the young to purer and more lasting joys. This is not the language of one grudging youthful pleasures, because he can no longer partake of them; but of one who has, by a miracle of mercy, been brought back in safety. He would persuade the young from trying a course whence so few return. If the young would live a life of true happiness, if they would secure happiness hereafter, let them remember their Creator in the days of their youth.
Mathew 6: 31 & 32
So do not worry saying what shall we eat or what shall we drink or what shall we wear
For the pagans run after these things and your Heavenly Father knows you have need of them
1 Corinthians 7:32
I would like you to be free from concern
The key to overcoming and controlling anxiety is to place one's trust in God for every aspect of our life.
The hardest part is once you have placed the situation is God's hands, is to take your hands off the situation and let God take over. It is hard. We have a tendency to do things for ourselves and to want everything done and fixed right away. God's timing is not our timing.
God Promises To Remove Anxiety
Psalm 94:19
When anxiety was great within me
Your consolation brought me joy
NEXT GOD PROMISES HE WILL TAKE CARE OF US
