Fear SEES. Anxiety IMAGINES.

100% of your anxiety is tied to a future you are IMAGINING and cannot CONTROL.

Anxiety EXPANDS to the size of our THOUGHTS. Faith EXPANDS to the size of our PRAYERS.

Philippians 4:4-8 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

The objective is to MOVE your anxiety TOWARDS God.

3 Practical Ways to Pray to Experience Peace

WRITE it.

Isaiah 37:16–20 “Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. Give ear, Lord, and hear; open your eyes, Lord, and see; listen to all the words Sennacherib has sent to ridicule the living God. “It is true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have laid waste all these peoples and their lands. They have thrown their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods but only wood and stone, fashioned by human hands. Now, Lord our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, Lord, are the only God.

WALK it.

3. MEDITATE on Scripture.

The world teaches you to rehearse your WOUNDS. The Word teaches you to rehearse GOD’S TRUTH.

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

Peace is found in SURRENDERING everything to the God who already HOLDS IT ALL.
