Are you (or someone you know) stressed?
Is anxiety dominating your life?
Are you worried?
Anyone have panic attacks?
Anyone had a meltdown lately because you feel the weight of the world is crashing down on you?
You’re not alone!
Stress, anxiety and full-blown panic attacks are becoming more and more prominent in our society.
People are worried today more than ever before.
And it doesn’t have to be that way.
For the three years I battled with depression I also dealt with anxiety, stress and even had several panic attacks. (And, like I said yesterday, people that are depressed sometimes do not deal with these things…and people who deal with these things aren’t necessarily depressed…I just happened to be going through both at the same time.)
AND…there is a way out!!!
You are not a slave to your circumstances, and your emotions do not have to be controlled by your environment.
This coming Sunday at NewSpring Church we are going to dive into God’s Word & see what the Bible says about how to overcome fear, anxiety and stress! AND…I can say from the Scriptures and from personal experience it has very little to do with adjusting our circumstances but rather adjusting the way we see things.
Like I said in regards to depression…I was DOMINATED by stress, anxiety and worry for years…and today I’m walking in victory and am no longer controlled by it.
Sure, there are still times that it tries to creep into my thinking…but just like II Corinthians 10:5 says, we MUST learn to take our thoughts captive and make them obedient to Christ.
You do not have to be stressed about the economy, marriage, being single, a wayward child or problems at work. Scripture clearly teaches how it is ok to be concerned but not consumed with our situation…and VICTORY IS POSSIBLE & PROMISED for those who are in Christ.
See you Sunday…and if you want to read Scripture in order to prepare then dive into Daniel 3.
