  Speaker 2: In this final session on overcoming worry, we focus on
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: receiving a great promise from God and using it to
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: rely more and more deeply on him. God knows what
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: you need and wants to give it to you. The
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: key to overcoming worry is to rely on God for everything,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: especially those things that are most important to us. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: know in my mind that I can rely on God,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: but I still find it so easy to start relying
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: on other things instead of God. I often rely on
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: friends or co workers to know what I should think
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: about myself. I can trust more in my bank account
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: for my security than a deep sense of God's love
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: for me. Where are you tempted to place your trust?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Is it in the regard of others, your career, your family, money,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: or even your good works. Take a moment to reflect
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: with God on this pray with me. Jesus, you tell us,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: don't set your heart on what you will eat or drink.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Do not worry about it, for the pagan world runs
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: after all such things and Your Father knows that you
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: need them. But seek His kingdom and these things will
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: be given to you as well. God, show me where
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I should rely on you. Show me a place in
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: my life where I need to rely on you more.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Ask God to forgive you for not trusting in Him
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: in the past. Ask God to increase your faith to
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: rely on him. Jesus, I declare that you are Lord
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: over all things. You are the living Word of God,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: all powerful, overcoming death. I will rely on you and
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you alone today. Help me to trust in you because
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I cannot do it alone. Help me to give over
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: every part of my life to you. Let your joy
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: be my strength, me free from relying on anything that
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: is not You. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Has the Lord made you aware of a place in
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: your life you need to be more reliant on God?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Are there many? Come back to these sessions any time
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you need extra practice or encouragement. Relying on Jesus is
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: at the core of being a Christian. May the Lord
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: bless you on your journey today.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Do anxious thoughts ever overwhelm your mind. Let's be honest.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Life can be overwhelming at times, and it can be
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: tempting to get caught up in the unknowns and the fears.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's why God instructs us over three hundred and
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: sixty five times in the Bible not to fear. He
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: knows how hard life can be, but he also wants
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: us to trust Him even when it's hard. Most of
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: us experience anxious thoughts at some point in our lives.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Sometimes those thoughts can become extreme, even irrational, affecting our
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: daily life. The anxious thoughts seem to come when there's
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: a threat of some sort to our happiness, our control,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: our future, or our life in general. The apostle Paul
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: knew that we all experience anxious thoughts at times, so
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he wrote in
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Philippians four to six, do not be anxious about anything,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: but in every situation, by prayer and petition, and with
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: thanksgiving present your requests to God. Are there areas in
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: your life where you've allowed the worries of the world
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: to crowd out God's truth and promises. Ask Him to
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: show you if there are any anxious thoughts that he
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: wants you to hand over to him. When those thoughts come,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: you can greet them and then release them to Christ,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: knowing that he cares for you. Ask him to replace
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: those anxious thoughts with truth and trust. A big part
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: of being able to release our cares to the Lord
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: is being willing to give up control. This can be
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: a tough one for us. Self reliance can fuel those
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: anxious thoughts, though and especially if we don't know how
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: to solve or fix a situation. As we read from
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: First Peter chapter five, today, prepare your heart to release
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: all of your cares on him. Let's pray together, Heavenly Father,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: thank you for being trustworthy and reliable in all things.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I sometimes become self reliant and think I can manage
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: everything on my own. Would you please help me to
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: trust you in those moments? God, I don't want to
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: have these anxious thoughts anymore. I really want to cast
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: all of my cares on you, knowing that you'll handle
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: them better than I ever could. Thank you for your
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: provision and your compassion. In Jesus' name, I pray amen.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: As Christians, it can be easy to forget that we
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: have an enemy who wants nothing more than for us
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: to be consumed by anxious thoughts. These thoughts are like
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: arrows of the enemy that come at you, oftentimes out
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: of nowhere. How can you shield yourself from them? I
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: want you to picture that now, as you hold up
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: the truth of God's provision, blocking every anxious thought as
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: it comes your way. For many of us, anxious thoughts
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: have become more than just a passing feeling. They've actually
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: become a stronghold. Maybe you've been this way for so
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: long and you've come to rely on it as a
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: way of coping. Ask God to reveal to you where
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: you may be holding on to anxious thoughts instead of
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: trusting in His care for you. Release your grip on
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: that fear and uncertainty that has taken root in your mind. Now,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: as we prepare to read from First Peter chapter five,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: focus solely on the truth of God's word. Fix your
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: thoughts on peace, joy, and clarity. As I read one
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Peter five seven from the New Living Translation, give all
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Let me repeat that, give all your worries and cares
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: to God, for He cares about you. God cares for you.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Every hair on your head is numbered. He fashioned you
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: in His likeness, in every fiber of your being was
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: created by His loving hands. How have you let anxious
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: thoughts steal the joy of being God's creation? Take a
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: moment and thank Him for creating you in his likeness.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: As I mentioned earlier, we have an enemy who wants
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: nothing more than to steal, kill, and destroy. If Satan
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: can steal our joy, kill our peace, and destroy our
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: trust in God, he's robbed us of true life in Christ.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Think about how the enemy has stolen enjoy from you.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Use this time to say no to him and yes
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: to God. Let the peace of God rule in your heart.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Now listen again as I read Firse Peter five seven.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: If you've been praying for something for a long period
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: of time, maybe without any real change, yet it may
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: seem like God has forgotten you or gone silent for
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: some reason, maybe that's giving you some ink thoughts. Well,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: try to remember these words from Psalm ninety four eighteen
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: through nineteen, when I said, my foot is slipping. Your
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: unfailing love Lord supported me when anxiety was great within me.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Your consolation brought me joy. God's love is unfailing even
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: in the silence. He's there supporting us with his great love.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Focus on God's consolation for a moment. How does his
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: unfailing love support you even when the anxious thoughts build
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: up around us until we find it hard to catch
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: our breath. The Lord is there to lift the burden. Honestly,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: we can exchange our anxious thoughts for the joy of
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: the Lord. Let's practice that together now, So write where
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: you are. I want you to relax and be aware
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: of any place in your body where you might be
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: holding on to anxiety. Release your shoulders if they're tense.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Take a few deep and cleansing breaths. Inhale deeply through
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth. As you inhale,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: breathe in God's joy and peace. And as you exhale,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: breathe out any anxious thoughts, any fears, insecurities, just let
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: them go. Continue in this for the next several moments
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: of quiet meditation. Let's read our verse one more time
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: from one Peter five seven. Cast all your anxieties on him,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: because he cares for you. It would be wonderful once
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: we received Christ, if we were guaranteed a stress free life.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: But we live in a fallen world. There's always going
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: to be trials and temptations until we get to heaven. However,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: we are promised that God will be with us. He
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: will never leave us or forsake us. His Holy Spirit
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: is here to help guide and count uncl us in
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: all wisdom, we don't have to be anxious about anything.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Reflect on the presence of God for a few moments.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: How has He been with you all along? Now, stop
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: and think about the ways that you've let life's trials
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: overcome you. How have life's hardships caused you to be
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: full of anxious thoughts instead of God's peace. Ponder some
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: of your biggest anxious thoughts in life. Are they too
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: big for God? Please listen again as I read from
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Psalm ninety four eighteen through nineteen, when I said, my
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: foot is slipping. Your unfailing love Lord supported me when
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: anxiety was great within me, Your consolation brought me joy.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: When your anxiety is great within you, even overwhelming to you.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Be honest with God. Let him know you feel like
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: you're slipping under the weight of life's burdens. He understands.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Then wait and watch as His righteous right hand upholds you,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: His consolation brings you great joy. Think about that kind
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: of joy for the next few moments. As we close today,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: let's pray together, Lord, thank you for never leaving me
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: or forsaking me. Would you forgive me, God for allowing
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: the worries of this world to cause doubt, fear, and
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: anxious thoughts in my mind? I know Lord that you
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: desire for me to live with clarity of mind. I
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: know that your will is for me to trust you
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: fully with every facet of my life. So today, God,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I choose to cast my anxieties on you, and I
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: do trust you to provide for me. In Jesus name.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: I pray, Amen, stay here a moment longer, just releasing
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: every care and concern to the Lord. What does this
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: look like? Can you let go and trust God today
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: with your anxious thoughts? A Bide does have some wonderful
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: and encouraging resources on many of the issues we face
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: in life, including anxiety. If that's been a struggle of yours,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: either recently or maybe a frequent visitor throughout your life,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I encourage you to spend some time today and allow
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: the scriptures on anxiety to sink into your mind and heart.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: As you prayerfully, rest and abide in Christ.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: In this final session on overcoming worry, we focus on
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: receiving a great promise from God and using it to
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: rely more and more deeply on him. God knows what
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: you need and wants to give it to you. The
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: key to overcoming worry is to rely on God for everything,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: especially those things that are most important to us. I
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: know in my mind that I can rely on God,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: but I still find it so easy to start relying
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: on other things instead of God. I often rely on
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: friends or co workers to know what I should think
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: about myself. I can trust more in my bank account
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: for my security than a deep sense of God's love
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: for me. Where are you tempted to place your trust?
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Is it in the regard of others, your career, your family, money,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: or even your good works. Take a moment to reflect
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: with God.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: On this.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Pray with me, Jesus, you tell us, don't set your
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: heart on what you will eat or drink. Do not
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: worry about it, for the pagan world runs after all
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: such things, and your Father knows that you need them.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: But seek His kingdom and these things will be given
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to you as well. God show me where I should
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: rely on you. Show me a place in my life
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: where I need to rely on you more. Ask God
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: to forgive you for not trusting in Him in the past.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Ask God to increase your faith to rely on him. Jesus,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I declare that you are Lord over all things. You
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: are the living Word of God, all powerful, overcoming death.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I will rely on you and you alone to day.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Help me to trust in you because I cannot do
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: it alone. Help me to give over every part of
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: my life to you. Let your joy be my strength.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Set me free from relying on anything that is not You.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen. Has
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the Lord made you aware of a place in your
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: life you need to be more reliant on God? Are
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: there man? Come back to these sessions any time you
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: need extra practice or encouragement. Relying on Jesus is at
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: the core of being a Christian. May the Lord bless
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: you on your journey today.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Do anxious thoughts ever overwhelm your mind. Let's be honest.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Life can be overwhelming at times, and it can be
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: tempting to get caught up in the unknowns and the fears.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's why God instructs us over three hundred and
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: sixty five times in the Bible not to fear. He
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: knows how hard life can be, but he also wants
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: us to trust him even when it's hard. Most of
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: us experience anxious thoughts at some point in our lives.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Sometimes those thoughts can become extreme, even irrational, affecting our
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: daily life. The anxious thoughts seem to come when there's
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: a thread of some sort to our happiness, our control,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: our future, or our life in general. The apostle Paul
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: knew that we all experience anxious thoughts at times, so
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he wrote in
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Philippians four to six, do not be anxious about anything,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: but in every situation, by prayer and petition and with thanksgiving,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: present your requests to God. Are there areas in your
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: life where you've allowed the worries of the world to
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: crowd out God's truth and promises. Ask Him to show
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: you if there are any anxious thoughts that he wants
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: you to hand over to him. When those thoughts come,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: you can greet them and then release them to Christ,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: knowing that he cares for you. Ask him to replace
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: those anxious thoughts with truth and trust. A big part
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: of being able to release our cares to the Lord
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: is being willing to give up control. This can be
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: a tough one for us. Lions can fuel those anxious thoughts, though,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: and especially if we don't know how to solve or
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: fix a situation. As we read from First Peter chapter five, today,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: prepare your heart to release all of your cares on him.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Let's pray together, Heavenly Father, thank you for being trustworthy
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: and reliable in all things. I sometimes become self reliant
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: and think I can manage everything on my own. Would
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: you please help me to trust you in those moments? God,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: I don't want to have these anxious thoughts anymore. I
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: really want to cast all of my cares on you,
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: knowing that you'll handle them better than I ever could.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Thank you for your provision and your compassion. In Jesus' name,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: I pray Amen. As Christians, it can be easy to
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: forget that we have an enemy who wants nothing more
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: than for us to be consumed by anxious thoughts. These
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: thoughts are like arrows of the enemy that come at you,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: oftentimes out of nowhere. How can you shield yourself from them?
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I want you to picture that now as you hold
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: up the truth of God's provision, blocking every anxious thought
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: as it comes your way. For many of us, anxious
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: thoughts have become more than just a passing feeling. They've
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: actually become a stronghold. Maybe you've been this way for
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: so long and you've come to rely on it as
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: a way of coping. Ask God to reveal to you
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: where you may be holding on to anxious thoughts instead
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: of trusting in His care for you. Release your grip
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: on that fear and uncertainty that has taken root in
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: your mind. Now, as we prepare to read from First
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Peter chapter five, focus solely on the truth of God's word.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Fix your thoughts on peace, joy, and clarity. As I
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: read One Peter five seven from the New Living Translation,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: give all your worries and cares to God, for He
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: cares about you. Let me repeat that, give all your
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: God cares for you. Every hair on your head is numbered.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: He fashioned you in his likeness, and every fiber of
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: your being was created by his loving hands. How have
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: you let anxious thoughts steal the joy of being God's creation?
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Take a moment and thank Him for creating you in
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: his likeness. As I mentioned earlier, we have an enemy
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: who wants nothing more than to steal, kill, and destroy.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: If Satan can steal our joy, kill our peace, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: destroy our trust in God, he's robbed us of true
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: life in Christ. Think about how the enemy has stolen
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: joy from you. Use this time to say no to
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: him and yes to God. Let the peace of God
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: rule in your heart. Now listen again as I read
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: first Peter five seven. Cast all your anxieties on him,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: because he cares for you. If you've been praying for
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: something for a long period of time, maybe without any
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: real change, yet it may seem like God has forgotten
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: you or gone silent for some reason. Maybe that's giving
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: you some anxious thoughts. Well, try to remember these words
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: from Psalm ninety four eighteen through nineteen, when I said,
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: my foot is slipping. Your unfailing love, Lord supported me
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: when anxiety was great within me. Your consolation brought me joy.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: God's love is un failing. Even in the silence, He's
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: there supporting us with his great love. Focus on God's
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: consolation for a moment. How does his unfailing love support you.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Even when the anxious thoughts build up around us until
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: we find it hard to catch our breath, the Lord
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: is there to lift the burden. Honestly, we can exchange
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: our anxious thoughts for the joy of the Lord. Let's
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: practice that together now, So right where you are, I
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: want you to relax and be aware of any place
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: in your body where you might be holding on to anxiety.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Release your shoulders if they're tense. Take a few deep
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: and cleansing breaths. Inhale deeply through your nose, and exhale
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: slowly through your mouth. As you inhale, breathe in God's
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: joy and peace. And as you exhale, breathe out any
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: anxious thoughts, any fears, insecurities, just let them go. Continue
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: in this for the next several moments of quiet meditation.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Let's read our verse one more time from one Peter
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: five seven. Cast all your anxieties on him, because he
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: cares for you. It would be wonderful once we received Christ,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: if we were guaranteed a stress free life. But we
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: live in a fallen world. There's always going to be
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: trials and temptations until we get to Heaven. However, we
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: are promised that God will be with us. He will
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: never leave us or forsake us. His Holy Spirit is
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: here to help guide and counsel us. In all wisdom.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: We don't have to be anxious about anything. Reflect on
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: the presence of God for a few moments. How has
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: He been with you all along? Now, stop and think
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: about the ways that you've let life's trials overcome you.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: How have life's hardships caused you to be full of
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: anxious thoughts instead of God's peace. Ponder some of your
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: biggest anxious thoughts in life. Are they too big for God?
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Please listen again as I read from Psalm ninety four
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: eighteen through nineteen, when I said, my foot is slipping.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Your unfailing love. Lord supported me when anxiety was great
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: within me. Your consolation brought me joy. When your anxiety
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: is great within you, even overwhelming to you, Be honest
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: with God. Let him know you feel like you're slipping
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: under the weight of life's burdens. He understands. Then wait
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: and watch as His righteous right hand upholds you and
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: his consolation brings you great joy. Think about that kind
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: of joy for the next few moments. As we close today,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: let's pray together. Lord, thank you for never leaving me
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: or forsaking me. Would you forgive me, God for allowing
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: the worries of this world to cause doubt, fear, and
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: anxious thoughts in my mind? I know Lord that you
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: desire for me to live with clarity of mind. I
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: know that your will is for me to trust you
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: fully with every facet of my life. So today, God,
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: I choose to cast my anxieties on you, and I
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: do trust you to provide for me in Jesus name,
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: I pray, Amen, stay here a moment longer, just releasing
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: every care and concern to the Lord. What does this
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: look like? Can you let go and trust God today
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: with your anxious thoughts? A Bide does have some wonderful
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: and encouraging resources on many of the issues we face
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: in life, including anxiety. If that's been a struggle of yours,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: either recently or maybe a frequent visitor throughout your life,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: I encourage you to spend some time today and allow
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: the scriptures on anxiety to sink into your mind and
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: heart as you prayerfully, rest and abide in Christ.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: In this final session on overcoming worry, we focus on
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: receiving a great promise from God and using it to
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: rely more and more deeply on him. God knows what
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: you need and wants to give it to you. The
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: key to overcoming worry is to rely on God for everything,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: especially those things that are most important to us. I
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: know in my mind that I can rely on God,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: but I still find it so easy to start relying
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: on other things instead of God. I often rely on
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: friends or co workers to know what I should think
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: about myself. I can trust more in my bank account
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: for my security than a deep sense of God's love
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: for me. Where are you tempted to place your trust?
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Is it in the regard of others, your career, your family, money,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: or even your good works. Take a moment to reflect
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: with God on this. Pray with me. Jesus, you tell us,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: don't set your heart on what you will eat or drink.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Do not worry about it, for the pagan world runs
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: after all such things, and your Father knows that you
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: need them. But seek His kingdom and these things will
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: be given to you as well. God, show me where
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: I should rely on you. Show me a place in
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: my life where I need to rely on you more.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Ask God to forgive you for not trusting in Him
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: in the past. Ask God to increase your faith to
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: rely on him. Jesus, I declare that you are Lord
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: over all things. You are the living Word of God,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: all powerful, overcoming death. I will rely on you and
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: you alone. Today. Help me to trust in you because
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I cannot do it alone. Help me to give over
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: every part of my life to you. Let your joy
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: be my strength. Set me free from relying on anything
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: that is not You. I ask this in the name
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: of Jesus. Amen. Has the Lord made you aware of
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: a place in your life you need to be more
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: reliant on God? Are there many? Come back to these
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: sessions any time you need extra practice or encouragement. Relying
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: on Jesus is at the core of being a Christian.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: May the Lord bless you on your journey today.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Do anxious thoughts ever overwhelm your mind. Let's be honest.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Life can be overwhelming at times, and it can be
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: tempting to get caught up in the unknowns and the fears.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's why God instructs us over three hundred and
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: sixty five times in the Bible not to fear. He
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: knows how hard life can be, but he also wants
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: us to trust him even when it's hard. Most of
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: us experience anxious thoughts at some point in our lives.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Sometimes those thoughts can become extreme, even irrational, affecting our
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: daily life. The anxious thoughts seem to come when there's
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: a thread of some sort to our happiness, our control,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: our future, or our life in general. The apostle Paul
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: knew that we all experience anxious thoughts at times, so
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he wrote in
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Philippians four to six, do not be anxious about anything,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: but in every situation, by prayer and petition, and with thanksgiving,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: present your requests to God. Are there areas in your
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: life where you've allowed the worries of the world to
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: crowd out God's truth and promises. Ask Him to show
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: you if there are any anxious thoughts that he wants
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: you to hand over to him. When those thoughts come,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: you can greet them and then release them to Christ.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Knowing that he cares for you, ask him to replace
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: those anxious thoughts with truth and trust. A big part
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: of being able to release our cares to the Lord
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: is being willing to give up control. This can be
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: a tough one for us. Self reliance can fuel those
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: anxious thoughts, though, and especially if we don't know how
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: to solve or fix a situation. As we read from
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: First Peter chapter five, today, prepare your heart to release
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: all of your cares on him. Let's pray together, Heavenly Father,
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: thank you for being trust worthy and reliable in all things.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I sometimes become self reliant and think I can manage
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: everything on my own. Would you please help me to
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: trust you in those moments? God, I don't want to
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: have these anxious thoughts anymore. I really want to cast
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: all of my cares on you, knowing that you'll handle
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: them better than I ever could. Thank you for your
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: provision and your compassion. In Jesus name, I pray amen.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: As Christians, it can be easy to forget that we
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: have an enemy who wants nothing more than for us
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: to be consumed by anxious thoughts. These thoughts are like
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: arrows of the enemy that come at you, oftentimes out
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: of nowhere. How can you shield yourself from them? I
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: want you to picture that now, as you hold up
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: the truth of God's provision, blocking every anxious thought as
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: it comes your way. For many of us, anxious thoughts
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: have become more than just a passing feeling. They've actually
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: become a stronghold. Maybe you've been this way for so
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: long and you've come to rely on it as a
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: way of coping. Ask God to reveal to you where
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: you may be holding on to anxious thoughts instead of
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: trusting in His care for you. Release your grip on
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: that fear and uncertainty that has taken root in your mind. Now,
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: as we prepare to read from First Peter chapter five,
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: focus solely on the truth of God's word. Fix your
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: thoughts on peace, joy, and clarity. As I read first
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: five seven from the New Living Translation, give all your
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Let me repeat that, give all your worries and cares
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: to God, for He cares about you. God cares for you.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: Every hair on your head is numbered. He fashioned you
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: in his likeness, and every fiber of your being was
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: created by his loving hands. How have you let anxious
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: thoughts steal the joy of being God's creation? Take a
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: moment and thank Him for creating you in his likeness.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: As I mentioned earlier, we have an enemy who wants
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: nothing more than to steal, kill and destroy. If Satan
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: can steal our joy, kill our peace, and destroy our
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: trust in God, he's robbed us of true life in Christ.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Think about how the enemy has stolen joy from you.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Use this time to say no to him and yes
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: to God. Let the peace of God rule in your heart.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Now listen again as I read first Peter five seven.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: If you've been praying for something for a long period
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: of time, maybe without any real change, yet it may
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: seem like God has forgotten you or gone silent for
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: some reason, maybe that's giving you some anxious thoughts. Well,
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: try to remember these words from Psalm ninety four eighteen
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: through nineteen, when I said my foot is slipping. Your
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: unfailing love Lord supported me when anxiety was great within me.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: Your consolation brought me joy. God's love is unfailing even
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: in the silence, He's there supporting us with his great love.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Focus on God's consolation for a moment. How does his
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: unfailing love support you Even when the anxious thoughts build
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: up around us until we find it hard to catch
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: our breath. The Lord is there to lift the burden. Honestly,
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: we can exchange our anxious thoughts for the joy of
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: the Lord. Let's practice that together now, So write where
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: you are. I want you to relax and be aware
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: of any place in your body where you might be
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: holding on to anxiety. Release your shoulders if they're tense.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Take a few deep and cleansing breaths. Inhale deeply through
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth. As you inhale,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: breathe in God's joy and peace. And as you exhale,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: breathe out any anxious thoughts, any fears, insecurities, just let
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: them go. Continue in this for the next several moments
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: of quiet meditation. Let's read our verse one more time,
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: from one Peter five to seven. Cast all your anxieties
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: on him, because He cares for you. It would be
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: wonderful once we received Christ, if we were guaranteed a
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: stress free life. But we live in a fallen world.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: There's always going to be trials and temptations until we
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: get to heaven. However, we are promised that God will
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: be with us. He will never leave us or forsake us.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: His Holy Spirit is here to help guide and counsel
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: us in all wisdom. We don't have to be anxious
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: about anything. Reflect on the presence of God for a
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: few moments. How has He been with you all along? Now,
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: stop and think about the ways that you've let life's
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: trials overcome you. How have life's hardships caused you to
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: be full of anxious thoughts instead of God's peace? Ponder
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: some of your biggest anxious thoughts in life? Are they
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: too big for God? Please listen again as I read
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: from Psalm ninety four eighteen through nineteen, when I said,
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: my foot is slipping. Your unfailing love, Lord supported me
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: when anxiety was great within me. Your consolation brought me joy.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: When your anxiety is great within you, even overwhelming to you,
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: be honest with God. Let him know you feel like
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: you're slipping under the weight of life's burdens. He understands.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: Then wait and watch as His righteous right hand upholds
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: you and his consolation brings you great joy. Think about
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: that kind of joy for the next few moments. As
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: we can close today, let's pray together Lord, thank you
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: for never leaving me or forsaking me. Would you forgive
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: me God for allowing the worries of this world to
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: cause doubt, fear, and anxious thoughts in my mind. I
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: know Lord that you desire for me to live with
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: clarity of mind. I know that your will is for
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: me to trust you fully with every facet of my life.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: So today God, I choose to cast my anxieties on you,
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: and I do trust you to provide for me. In
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: Jesus name, I pray, Amen, stay here a moment longer,
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: just releasing every care and concern to the Lord. What
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: does this look like? Can you let go and trust
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: God today with your anxious thoughts? Abide does have some
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: wonderful and encouraging resources on many of the issues we
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: face in life, including anxiety. If that's been a struggle
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: of yours, either recently or maybe a frequent visitor throughout
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: your life, I encourage you to spend some time today
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: and allow the scriptures on anxiety to sink into your
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: mind and heart as you prayerfully, rest and abide in Christ.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Pray with me Jesus you tell us, don't set your
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: heart on what you will eat or drink. Do not
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: worry about it, for the pagan world runs after all
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: such things, and your father knows that you need them.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: But seek His kingdom and these things will be given
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: to you as well. God, show me where I should
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: rely on you. Me a place in my life where
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: I need to rely on you more. Ask God to
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: forgive you for not trusting in Him in the past.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Ask God to increase your faith to rely on him. Jesus,
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: I declare that you are Lord over all things. You
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: are the living Word of God, all powerful, overcoming death.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: I will rely on you and you alone. Today. Help
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: me to trust in you because I cannot do it alone.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Help me to give over every part of my life
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: to you. Let your joy be my strength. Set me
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: free from relying on anything that is not you. I
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen. Has the
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Lord made you aware of a place in your life
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: you need to be more reliant on God? Are there many?
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Come back to these sessions any time you need extra
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: practice or encouragement. Relying on Jesus is at the core
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: of being a Christian. May the Lord bless you on
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: your journey today.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: Now listen again as I read first Peter five seven.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: Cast all your anxieties on him because he cares for you.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: If you've been praying for something for a long period
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: of time, maybe without any real change. Yet it may
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: seem like God has forgotten you or gone silent for
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: some reason. Maybe that's giving you some anxious thoughts. Well,
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: try to remember these words from Psalm ninety four eighteen
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: through nineteen, when I said, my foot is slipping. Your
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: unfailing love, Lord supported me when anxiety was great within me.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: Your consolation brought me joy. God's love is unfailing even
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: in the silence. He's there supporting us with his great love.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: Focus on God's consolation for a moment. How does his
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: unfailing love support you even when the anxious thoughts build
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: up around us until we find it hard to catch
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: our breath. The Lord is there to lift the burden. Honestly,
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: we can exchange our anxious thoughts for the joy of
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: the Lord. Let's practice that together now, So write where
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: you are. I want you to relax and be aware
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: of any place in your body where you might be
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: holding on to anxiety. Release your shoulders if they're tense.
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: Take a few deep and cleansing breaths. Inhale deeply through
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth as you inhale,
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: breathe in God's joy and peace. And as you exhale,
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: breathe out any anxious thoughts, any fears, insecurities, Just let
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: them go. Continue in this for the next several moments
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: of quiet meditation. Let's read our verse one more time,
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: from one Peter five to seven. Cast all your anxieties
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: on him, because He cares for you. It would be
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: wonderful once we received Christ, if we were guaranteed a
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: stress free life. But we live in a fallen world.
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: There's always going to be trials and temptations until we
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: get to heaven. However, we are promised that God will
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: be with us. He will never leave us or forsake us.
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: His Holy Spirit is here to help guide and counsel
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: us in all wisdom. We don't have to be anxious
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: about anything. Reflect on the presence of God for a
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: few moments. How has He been with you all along? Now,
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: stop and think about the ways that you've let life's
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: trials overcome you. How have life's hardships caused you to
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: be full of anxious thoughts instead of God's peace. Ponder
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: some of your biggest anxious thoughts in life. Are they
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: too big for God, please listen again as I read
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: from Psalm ninety four eighteen through nineteen, when I said,
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: my foot is slipping. Your unfailing love, Lord supported me
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: when anxiety was great within me. Your consolation brought me joy.
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: When your anxiety is great within you, even overwhelming to you,
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: Be honest with God. Let him know you feel like
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: you're slipping under the weight of life's burdens. He understands.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: Then wait and watch as his righteous right hand upholds
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: you and his consolation brings you great joy. Think about
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: that kind of joy for the next few moments. As
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: we close today, Let's pray together, Lord, thank you for
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: never leaving me or forsaking me. Would you forgive me, God,
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: for allowing the worries of this world to cause doubt, fear,
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: and anxious thoughts in my mind? I know Lord that
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: you desire for me to live with clarity of mind.
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: I know that your will is for me to trust
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: you fully with every facet of my life. So today God,
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: I choose to cast my anxieties on you, and I
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: do trust you to provide for me. In Jesus name.
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: I pray, Amen, stay here a moment longer, just releasing
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: every care and concern to the Lord. What does this
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: look like? Can you let go and trust God today
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: with your anxious thoughts? A Bide does have some wonderful
