Break Anxiety's Grip

Uncover the sources of your anxiety

Psalms 139:23-24 NKJV
²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties;
²⁴ in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

Luke 17:5-6 NKJV
⁵ And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
⁶ So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.  

Do you have trust issues with God? Do you believe that He loves you and will help you when you pray and ask Him? You must pray in faith and where you lack faith, ask God to increase your faith.

Stop being afraid of fear
Faith overcomes fear.
Trust God and overcome your fear.

II Timothy 1:7 NKJV
⁷ For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 

Ask God to renew your mind

Philippians 4:6-8 NKJV
⁶ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
⁷ and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
⁸ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are  lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there  is any virtue and if there  is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 

Colossians 3:2 NKJV
² Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 

Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
¹⁰ Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Psalms 4:8 NKJV
⁸ I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Joshua 1:9 NKJV
⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” 

Be strengthened by God's word.

Offer up your prayers and requests to God

I Peter 5:7 NKJV
⁷ casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Talk to God about your fears. He surely will help you overcome them by His Spirit when you give your concerns to Jesus, your Prince of Peace and He will give you His perfect peace.🕊🩷

Anxiety - Calm Me Down Jesus

♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

Anxiety
The Battle & Rescue
Calm Me Down Jesus

A Prayer for Help
(A special Psalm and a prayer by David when he was in the cave)
Psalms 142:1-7 CEV‬
¹  I pray to you, Lord. I beg for mercy.
² I tell you all my worries and my troubles,
³ and whenever I feel low, you are there to guide me. A trap has been hidden along my pathway.
⁴ Even if you look, you won't see anyone who cares enough to walk beside me. There is no place to hide, and no one who really cares.
⁵ I pray to you, Lord! You are my place of safety, and you are my choice in the land of the living. Please answer my prayer. I am completely helpless.
⁶ Help! They are chasing me, and they are too strong.
⁷ Rescue me from this prison, so I can praise your name. And when your people notice your wonderful kindness to me, they will rush to my side.

John 14:27 CEV‬
²⁷ I give you peace, the kind of peace only I can give. It isn't like the peace this world can give. So don't be worried or afraid.

Peace

PEACE
Luke 10:5-6

Whenever you enter a house, first say, ‘May peaceG1515 be on this house!’
And if a peace-loving person is there, your peace will remain on him, but if not, it will
return to you.Luke 10:5-6 (NET)

Luk 10:5
1 Sam 25:6; Isa 57:19; Mat 10:12-13; Act 10:36; 2 Cor 5:18-20; Eph 2:17

Then you will say to my brother, “PeaceH7965 to you and your house! Peace to all that is yours!
1 Samuel 25:6 (NET)

I am the one who gives them reason to celebrate.  Complete prosperity is available both to those who are far away and those who are nearby,” says the Lord, “and I will heal them.
Isaiah 57:19 (NET)

I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
Isaiah 57:19 (KJV)

And if the house is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Matthew 10:13 (NET)

You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, proclaiming the good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all)—

Ephesians 2:17 (NET) 

Luk 10:6
2 Thess 3:16;James 3:18

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all.
2 Thessalonicense 3:16

And the fruit that consists of righteousness is planted in peace among those who make peace.
James 3:18

 

I have learned a lot about the word peace.  What does it mean when a Christian blesses you with peace?

If you wish peace/(shâlôm) shalom on someone, you are wishing them "peace (literally or figuratively); by implication prosperity: - one, peace, quietness, rest, + set at one again."
It is a greeting.
 
You are wishing them to be safe, well, happy, wishing them good welfare in their health, prosperity and peace.  You are wishing God's favour upon them.  Wishing them to be wholly well.  In all aspects of their lives.
 
Wow!  What a blessing when someone blesses you with PEACE!  So many of God's blessings in one word.
 
When the person you are blessing is not welcoming and not seeking peace, your peace returns to you.

I know true peace can only come from God, peace that surpasses all understanding.

Such a small word encompassing so many blessings. :)  

Do Christians even greet others with a peace blessing, especially unbelievers?  Time to change that and start blessing people with the peace of Jesus when we greet them!  God blesses even the unbeliever.  He blesses them to show them His mercy and goodness, to draw them to Him.  So let us bless them when we greet them.

Thanks for reading! :)  Shalom!

Rejoice!

We are told in the word of God to rejoice in the Lord...always!  Not just sometimes, when we feel like it, no, always!  Even through afflictions, persecutions, hard times, trials, tribulations, we must rejoice always!  Paul did exactly that when he was in prison.  He was praying and singing hymns of praise to God.  That is how we fight the enemy, that is how we resist the enemy (satan) and he will flee from us.

We are told how to have the peace of God that surpasses all understanding, by not worrying!  By making our prayers and requests known to God and thanking Him as we do so.  That's faith in action, you ask God for something and thank Him at the same time as if you have already received it!

Rejoice in the Lord always!  Have faith, do not worry, rejoice!  Praise Him through the storm, praise Him after the storm, praise Him always.  Our God of peace will grant you peace!  In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!  Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. •~Philippians 4:4-9~•

Be ye Holy

This morning God led me to 1 Peter 3. I've been in tears about the attitude of Christians toward one another online.  The name-calling, the insults, the lack of love, it is shocking.  Yes I am speaking of Christians, because that's what they claim to be.  To think we are accused of being holy.  Do we so easily forget that God calls us to be holy?

What must the world think about Christians when we carry on like that?  May God have mercy on the Body of Christ and forgive us and lead us to repent from this.  Bless your HOLY name Jesus, may we be an example of Christ in us, even online!  Help me Jesus, to always keep this in mind!
We must never forget to be holy, because God tells us to be Holy because He is holy.
 

8 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;
9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
10 For "He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
13 And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled."
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
16 having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.
•~1 Peter 3:8-16
