Exchanging Your Worry for Prayer
Speaker: Pastor Kenneth Bean
Do you ever have moments when anxiety tries to creep up on you and seize your heart? I’m talking about those times when you are thrown into a state of panic about things that concern you – such as your family, your friendships, your business, or your finances? Very often, this state of panic is caused by the mere thought of a problem that doesn’t even exist and is unlikely to ever happen. Nevertheless, the mere thought of this non-existent problem deeply troubles you. Soon, you find yourself sinking into such a strong state of worry and anxiety that it literally takes you emotionally hostage.
In a moment when fear or worry tries to wrap its life-draining tentacles around you, rush to these truths found in Phil 4:6. You don’t have to live subject to worry, concerns, and fears the rest of your life. If you follow these steps, worry and fear will always be replaced with a peaceful, and praising heart. Might we learn to exchange our worry for prayer all the time we need to.
