  Speaker 1: It is time for today's word peace. In the mist
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of pressure, Psalms fifty five two through five in the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: New Living Translation, says, I am overwhelmed by my troubles.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: My enemies shout at me, making loud and wicked threats.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: My heart pounds in my chest. Fear and trembling overwhelmed me, and.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I can't stop shaking.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Anxiety is a word many people whisper about, but scripture
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: shows us that it has touched even the strongest, most
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: faith filled believers, including King David.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: David was a giant slayer.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: David was a mighty warrior and a man after God's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: own heart. Yet in this passage he is brutally honest.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: He was shaking, he was overwhelmed, and he was battling
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: fear on the inside.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: This reminds us that dealing with anxiety is not a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: sign of weakness. It's not a sign of failure or
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: lack of faith. It simply means that you're human. It
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: means you're under attack. The enemy often targets those who
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: carry purpose. Anxiety comes to cloud your vision and convince
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you that something is permanently wrong with you or with
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: your future. It whispers that you will always feel this way, but.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Those are lies of the enemy.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: David's word teaches us something powerful.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Even people who walk.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Closely with God have moments when their emotions.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Feel out of control.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: But those moments don't define you, and they don't dictate
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: your destiny. God is not intimidated by your anxious thoughts.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: He isn't disappointed in you. He meets you right where.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You are, in the middle of the shaking, and he
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: reminds you that His strength is made perfect in your weakness.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: You may feel overwhelmed today by responsibility, by uncertainty, by things.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: You can't fix or change.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: You may feel like fear is taking over your mind
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: or gripping your heart. But anxiety is not your permanent address.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It's going to pass. God may deliver you suddenly, or
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: he may bring healing little by little, strengthening you day
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: by day. Either way, he's working behind the scenes.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: So you keep speaking life.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: You keep declaring his promises, even when your emotions don't agree.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Say every single day, I'm getting stronger, my mind is settled,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: my heart is steady. God is restoring my peace. With
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: every declaration, you push back the darkness, and you welcome
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the calming presence of God into your situation. You are
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: not losing this battle, You are walking through it with
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the one who has already won the battle. Come own,

  Speaker 1: by problems because you will bring us through to victory.

• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We're resting in the Almighty God, who is greater than
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: anything we face. In Jesus' name. Now that's your word
• 3:14
