Many times Jesus asked us not to be worried about what to eat, drink or wear. The very reason behind worry is anxiety. Anxiety is very dangerous because it is a stage where one lives in self-condemnation, self-rejection, self-unworthiness and the worst of it all is that it paints God as a liar that contradicts what He has said about you.
Some of you feel that no one loves you or that you are not beautiful enough. Some of you think that your sins are so many or too great for God to forgive you. Some of you may think that your life is so soiled that you cannot be able to walk into your dreams.
Remember, God is the Almighty; nothing is impossible for him, and He is greater than those things or conditions giving you sleepless nights.
Secondly, no one will fully understand what you going through, but God does because He loves you.
Thirdly, there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, so why should you live in self-condemnation or rejection?
No one is immune to anxiety but when you are in it, the best remedy is to be closer to God. Give yourself to the reading of the Bible, praise and worship, and prayers.
Another way to overcome anxiety is listening to sermons and Gospel music.
Just imagine, Paul on death row in the Roman Jail was able to write the following:
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7 KJV
