2:41
and let your love be the foundation of
2:43
every home in Jesus name we pray amen
2:48
anxiety can feel like a storm raging
2:50
within us it's a storm that comes
2:52
without warning building in intensity
2:55
until it seems like there's no Escape
2:57
The Winds of Doubt whisper lies that
2:59
make us feel feel isolated and the waves
3:01
of Fear Can Crash over us until we're
3:04
gasping for breath but the beautiful
3:06
truth is even when we are in the eye of
3:09
the storm we are not alone God's peace
3:12
is available to us even in the most
3:15
difficult moments Jesus himself
3:17
experienced anxiety when he prayed in
3:19
the Garden of Gethsemane before his
3:21
crucifixion he was deeply troubled to
3:24
the point of sweating blood yet he still
3:26
surrendered his will to the father in
3:29
that moment Jesus gave us a model of how
3:31
to face our own fears by bringing them
3:33
to God and trusting in his plan when we
3:36
look to scripture we find countless
3:38
reminders that God is with us in our
3:40
anxiety Philippians 4:6-7 tells us do
3:44
not be anxious about anything but in
3:46
every situation by prayer and petition
3:49
with Thanksgiving present your requests
3:51
to God and the peace of God which
3:54
transcends all understanding will guard
3:56
your hearts and your minds in Christ
3:58
Jesus this passage reminds us that peace
4:01
comes not from the absence of problems
4:03
but from the presence of God too often
4:07
we try to solve our anxiety on our own
4:09
we seek distractions quick fixes or
4:13
temporary relief but none of these truly
4:15
address the root of our worry what we
4:18
need is the lasting peace that only
4:20
comes from placing our trust in the Lord
4:22
this doesn't mean that our problems will
4:24
instantly disappear but it does mean
4:26
that we can face them with a renewed
4:28
sense of calm knowing that God is in
4:31
control God's peace isn't something we
4:34
have to earn it's a gift when we
4:37
surrender our anxieties to him when we
4:40
lay our worries at his feet he fills us
4:42
with a peace that doesn't always make
4:43
sense to the world but is deeply felt in
4:46
our Spirits this peace is not dependent
4:48
on our circumstances but is rooted in
4:50
the unshakable truth that God is with us
4:53
his love surrounds us and his presence
4:55
is our refuge in the storm today I want
4:58
to encourage you to take step of Faith
5:01
whatever is causing your anxiety whether
5:03
it's your finances your relationships
5:06
your health or the uncertainty of the
5:08
future give it to God say Lord I trust
5:12
you with this and then let his peace
5:15
wash over you it may not happen all at
5:17
once but as you continue to surrender
5:19
your fears to him you will begin to
5:22
experience the calm that only he can
5:24
bring in the book of Isaiah we find
5:27
another promise of Peace you will keep
5:29
in perfect peace those whose minds are
5:31
steadfast because they trust in you
5:34
Isaiah
5:35
263 this verse encourages us to fix our
5:38
minds on God when we focus on his
5:41
goodness his faithfulness and his power
5:44
our worries begin to fade the storm may
5:46
still be there but it no longer has
5:48
control over us because we know that God
5:50
is holding us steady peace is not the
5:53
absence of trouble but the presence of
5:55
God in the midst of it when we keep our
5:57
minds and hearts focused on him we find
6:00
that the storms of life cannot shake us
6:02
we are anchored in his love and his
6:04
peace guards our hearts against fear
6:07
take a moment right now to reflect on
6:08
the storms in your life what are the
6:10
things that are causing you anxiety what
6:12
are the worries that keep you up at
6:14
night now imagine placing each of those
6:17
worries into God's hands picture
6:19
yourself releasing them one by one and
6:22
trusting him to handle them as you do
6:24
this breathe in deeply and allow his
6:27
peace to fill your heart as we continue
6:30
to reflect on the peace that God offers
6:31
us it's important to understand that
6:34
anxiety is not something to be ashamed
6:36
of many of us even the most faithful
6:38
Believers experience seasons of
6:41
anxiety the Bible is filled with stories
6:43
of people who despite their strong faith
6:46
wrestled with worry and fear from David
6:49
hiding in caves as he fled for his life
6:51
to Elijah feeling so overwhelmed that he
6:54
prayed for his life to be taken we see
6:56
that even God's chosen servants had
6:58
moments of deep anxiety yet in each of
7:00
these stories we also see how God met
7:03
them in their Darkest Hours and provided
7:05
them with peace and hope consider King
7:08
David a man after God's Own Heart who
7:10
wrote many of the Psalms in psalm
7:13
55:22 David encourages us to cast your
7:17
cares on the Lord and He will sustain
7:19
you he will never let the righteous be
7:22
shaken David knew the struggles of
7:24
living in constant danger and
7:26
uncertainty yet he found peace by
7:28
placing his trust in in God he didn't
7:30
try to carry the weight of his burdens
7:32
alone instead he cast them upon the Lord
7:36
knowing that God would sustain him this
7:39
is a powerful reminder for us today when
7:42
anxiety weighs us down we don't have to
7:45
carry it by ourselves God invites us to
7:48
bring our worries to him to cast them at
7:51
his feet and trust that he will uphold
7:53
us but casting our cares on God requires
7:56
more than just a passing prayer it
7:58
involves surrender
8:00
it's a daily sometimes hourly choice to
8:03
hand over control of Our Lives to the
8:04
one who created us it's about trusting
8:07
that even when we don't see the solution
8:09
God is already working behind the scenes
8:11
for our good let's take a moment to
8:14
reflect on what it means to truly cast
8:16
our cares on the Lord it means releasing
8:18
the need to understand everything it
8:21
means letting go of the desire to
8:22
control the outcome it means trusting
8:24
that God's plans are better than ours
8:27
even when they don't make sense in the
8:28
moment this kind of surrender can be
8:31
difficult especially when we are used to
8:33
trying to fix things on our own but when
8:35
we let go we make room for God's peace
8:38
to enter it's also important to
8:40
recognize that anxiety often thrives in
8:43
isolation when we keep our worries
8:45
bottled up inside they tend to grow but
8:48
God calls us into Community he calls us
8:51
to share our burdens with one another
8:53
and to support each other in prayer in
8:55
Galatians 62 we are instructed to one
8:58
carry each other's burdens and in this
9:00
way you will fulfill the law of
9:02
Christ this is a reminder that we were
9:04
never meant to face life's struggles
9:07
alone if you're feeling overwhelmed by
9:09
anxiety today I encourage you to reach
9:12
out to someone you trust share your
9:14
worries not just with God but with a
9:16
friend or family member who can pray for
9:18
you and offer encouragement there is
9:21
power in community and sometimes just
9:23
knowing that someone else is standing
9:25
with you can make all the difference and
9:27
remember no matter how isol ated you
9:29
feel God is always with you his presence
9:32
is constant even in the moments when you
9:35
feel most alone we see this truth in
9:38
Psalm 34:18 where it says the Lord is
9:41
close to the Brokenhearted and saves
9:43
those who are crushed in
9:44
spirit God is Not distant from our pain
9:48
he is near to us in our lowest moments
9:50
he is close to the anxious the weary and
9:53
the
9:54
Brokenhearted when we cry out to him he
9:56
hears us and he moves in ways we may not
9:59
all always understand his peace is not
10:02
always immediate but it is always
10:04
promised as we wait for his peace we can
10:06
take comfort in knowing that he is
10:08
walking beside us holding us through the
10:10
storm one of the most comforting
10:12
passages in scripture is found in
10:15
Matthew 11:28-30 where Jesus says come
10:18
to me all you who are weary and burdened
10:21
and I will give you rest take my yoke
10:24
upon you and learn from me for I am
10:26
gentle and humble in heart and you will
10:28
find rest for your soul s for my yoke is
10:30
easy and my burden is
10:33
light Jesus invites us to come to him
10:36
with our burdens promising that in him
10:39
we will find rest this rest is not just
10:42
physical but spiritual and emotional it
10:45
is a deep soul level peace that only
10:48
Jesus can
10:49
provide think about that for a moment
10:52
Jesus the son of God the Prince of Peace
10:55
invites us to come to him he knows the
10:58
weight of our anxiety the burdens we
11:01
carry and he offers us rest he doesn't
11:03
ask us to have it all together he
11:05
doesn't require us to fix our problems
11:07
before coming to him instead he simply
11:10
says come in him we find a peace that
11:13
the world cannot offer this invitation
11:16
from Jesus is one of the most beautiful
11:18
promises in Scripture it is a reminder
11:21
that we don't have to carry the weight
11:22
of the world on our
11:24
shoulders we can come to him just as we
11:26
are anxious broken and in need of peace
11:31
and he will meet us with open
11:33
arms if you're feeling weary today if
11:36
the storms of life have left you feeling
11:38
battered and bruised hear Jesus
11:40
invitation to come to him bring your
11:42
worries your fears and your anxieties to
11:46
his feet let his peace wash over you and
11:49
let his love remind you that you are
11:50
never alone as you reflect on these
11:53
truths ask yourself what areas of my
11:57
life am I still trying to control
12:00
what anxieties am I holding on to that I
12:02
need to release to God take a moment to
12:05
pray and surrender those areas to the
12:07
Lord let go of the fear the doubt and
12:10
the need to control and trust that God's
12:13
peace will guard your heart and mind in
12:14
Christ Jesus in The Book of John Jesus
12:18
tells his
12:19
disciples peace I leave with you my
12:22
peace I give you I do not give to you as
12:25
the world gives do not let your hearts
12:27
be troubled and do not be afraid John
12:31
14:27 this is one of the most powerful
12:34
promises in scripture because it reminds
12:35
us that the peace Jesus offers is not
12:38
like the fleeting peace the world
12:39
provides the world's peace is temporary
12:42
often based on circumstances or external
12:44
factors but the Peace of Jesus is
12:47
lasting Eternal and available to us no
12:50
matter what storms we face in life the
12:52
world tells us that peace comes from
12:54
having everything under control it tells
12:57
us that if we can just fix our problems
12:59
achieve more or find the right solution
13:02
then we'll have peace but Jesus turns
13:05
this idea upside down he offers us peace
13:08
not because everything in our lives is
13:10
perfect but because he is perfect his
13:12
peace comes from his presence not from
13:14
our
13:15
circumstances this truth is incredibly
13:17
freeing because it means that no matter
13:19
what is happening around us we can have
13:21
peace whether we're facing Financial
13:23
struggles relationship challenges health
13:26
concerns or uncertainty about the future
13:29
future the Peace of Jesus is available
13:31
to us it's a peace that calms our hearts
13:34
even when the world feels like it's
13:35
falling apart so how do we access this
13:38
peace it starts with surrender we have
13:41
to be willing to let go of our desire to
13:43
control everything and trust that God is
13:45
in control this doesn't mean that we
13:47
stop caring about our problems or that
13:49
we ignore the challenges we're facing
13:51
instead it means that we bring those
13:53
challenges to God and trust him with the
13:56
outcome in Philippians 46 7 Paul gives
14:00
us a blueprint for how to experience
14:02
God's peace do not be anxious about
14:05
anything but in every situation by
14:07
prayer and petition with Thanksgiving
14:10
present your request to God and the
14:12
peace of God which transcends all
14:14
understanding will guard your hearts and
14:16
your minds in Christ
14:18
Jesus notice that Paul doesn't say we
14:21
won't have reasons to be anxious instead
14:24
he tells us what to do when we feel
14:26
anxious pray give thanks and present our
14:29
requests to God when we do this God
14:32
promises to give us his peace a peace
14:35
that doesn't always make sense but
14:37
guards our hearts and Minds in Christ
14:39
this peace isn't something we can
14:41
manufacture on our own it's a gift from
14:43
God but it's a gift that we have to
14:45
receive we receive it by coming to God
14:48
In Prayer by thanking him for his
14:50
goodness even in the midst of our
14:51
struggles and by trusting that he is
14:54
working all things together for our good
14:57
as we reflect on this truth let's take a
14:59
moment to pray for God's peace to fill
15:01
our hearts let's ask him to calm the
15:04
storms in our lives and to help us trust
15:06
him more deeply and as we pray let's
15:08
remember that God's peace is not
15:10
something we have to earn it's a gift
15:12
that is freely given to all who seek it
15:15
if you've been carrying the weight of
15:16
anxiety for too long now is the time to
15:18
let it go bring it to God in prayer and
15:21
trust that he will replace your worry
15:23
with his peace trust that he will guard
15:26
your heart and mind and that his peace
15:28
will carry you through through whatever
