- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Nacky
- 0:04Speaker 1: at his time, right now for today's word. How to
- 0:07Speaker 1: overcome anxiety and live in peace. Proverbs fifteen fifteen says
- 0:14Speaker 1: in the Amplified all the days of the desponding and
- 0:18Speaker 1: afflicted are made evil by anxious thoughts and forebodings. But
- 0:23Speaker 1: he who has a glad heart has a continual feast,
- 0:26Speaker 1: regardless of the circumstance. The Dictionary defines anxiety as a
- 0:32Speaker 1: feeling of worry, nervousness, or uneas, typically about an imminent
- 0:38Speaker 1: event or something with an uncertain outcome. Oftentimes, when we're
- 0:43Speaker 1: worried about y'all never happens. The Bible tells us in
- 0:46Speaker 1: Matthew six twenty five and thirty through thirty in the
- 0:49Speaker 1: New Living Translations, that is why I tell you not
- 0:53Speaker 1: to worry about everyday life. Whether you have enough food
- 0:56Speaker 1: or drink, or enough clothes to wear, is a life
- 0:59Speaker 1: more than fo food, and your body more than clothing.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Look at the birds. They don't plant our harvest or
- 1:05Speaker 1: store food in barns. For your heavenly Father feeds them.
- 1:09Speaker 1: And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?
- 1:13Speaker 1: Can all your worries at a single moment to your life.
- 1:17Speaker 1: And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies
- 1:20Speaker 1: of the feel and how they grow. They don't work
- 1:23Speaker 1: or make their clothing. Yet Solomon and all his glory
- 1:26Speaker 1: was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if
- 1:29Speaker 1: God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today
- 1:34Speaker 1: and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he would certainly care
- 1:37Speaker 1: for you. Why do you have so little faith? Y'all?
- 1:41Speaker 1: We have to trust God and realize that our anxieties
- 1:45Speaker 1: are in many cases not based on true circumstances or situations.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Our problems are not as critical as the devil makes
- 1:52Speaker 1: it appear. When we accept his lies, even though they're vague,
- 1:59Speaker 1: it opens the door for the evil forebodings that the
- 2:01Speaker 1: Scripture talks about. Too often we live expecting something bad
- 2:06Speaker 1: to happen instead of aggressively expecting something good to happen.
- 2:10Speaker 1: According to the Word of God, the Living Bible says,
- 2:13Speaker 1: what a man is gloomy. Everything seems to go wrong
- 2:16Speaker 1: most of the time. We're miserable, y'all because our thoughts
- 2:19Speaker 1: are miserable. Our thoughts are poisoning our outlook. Negative thoughts
- 2:24Speaker 1: will rob you of the ability to enjoy your life.
- 2:27Speaker 1: The Word says the power of life and death are
- 2:30Speaker 1: in the tongue, and you'll have what you say. So
- 2:32Speaker 1: stop speaking and expecting negative things and start speaking and
- 2:36Speaker 1: believing for God and what he promises in his word.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Purposely expect the things to happen in your life and
- 2:44Speaker 1: realize that you can choose your thoughts. We don't have
- 2:47Speaker 1: to accept Satan's lives. Like everybody else, negative thoughts will
- 2:51Speaker 1: come from time to time, but we don't have to
- 2:54Speaker 1: become negative because of them. Choose to remain positive. Trust
- 2:58Speaker 1: the word of God. So overcome anxiety and live in peace.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Oh dear Lord Jesus. Through our lives God, we've been
- 3:10Speaker 1: robbed of our joy and contentment as those feelings come
- 3:15Speaker 1: to us. Please God, remind us that you're in control,
- 3:18Speaker 1: that you can be trusted, and help us to rest
- 3:21Speaker 1: in you and rejoice in your power. In Jesus' name,
- 3:24Speaker 1: that's your word for today. Take an applied to your
- 3:27Speaker 1: everyday life and you continue to be encouraged and inspired.
