"Do not be anxious about anything..."
~ Philippians 4:6
Sometimes the bible is pretty direct.
Maybe a little too direct.
"Do not be anxious about anything..."
Really?!
It's that easy.
Just stop being anxious?
Yes and no.
Think of it more like an invitation rather than an insensitive command.
"... but in every situation, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
~ Philippians 4:6-7
God sees us and knows our anxious hearts.
And offers a way of living and approaching anxiety-inducing circumstances.
This Sunday we'll be continue our series
God Help Me:
Biblical Help for Mental Health
and we'll be addressing one of the most common,
and most pervasive of all experiences-
Anxiety.
From Series: "God Help Me: Biblical Help for Mental Health"
The church is generally good about asking for help when someone is physically sick. No so much when it comes to mental health and illness.
But God cares about our mental health and the bible is not silent on matters of mental illness. This May 2022 we want to break the silence, de-stigmatize, and open the conversation about mental health awareness, and help, in the church.
