EPISODE 603 – OUTSOURCE YOUR ANXIETY 2

Worry and anxiety have become the norm of men. Almost everyone (both the poor and the rich) wakes up with anxiety and fear. Even children are now cultured by society to worry.

The systems established by men to help men have now become a means of oppression and anxiety: the educational system, family relations, professional space and career pursuit.
The society which has to serve as a haven of tranquillity has become like a jungle.

Psychologists and counsellors seem not even to have solutions to these situations. Even they are struggling with the anxiety of doing their job well so that the customer will give them high rates.

Beloved, God has a permanent solution for anxiety and worry. He passionately cares for you. He has deep affection and interest in all your concerns.
He wants you to let Him bear your burdens. He wants you to direct all your concerns to Him.

This is how you live a worry-free life.

You don’t automatically experience a worry-free life. To have a worry-free life you must intentionally outsource your anxiety.

As you can see in the opening verse, God would not throw the whole of your anxiety upon Himself. It is your choice to do that. You have to throw the whole of your anxiety upon Him.

You have to decide that you are not going to bear it any more. Both the ones you can bear and the ones you cannot bear should be cast onto the Lord.

Don’t entertain any form of worry and pain. Don’t give anxiety the luxury to thrive around you.

I know you want to know how to outsource your anxiety.

Well, Paul the Apostle gives us a clear answer:

“Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ. So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always” Philippians 4:6-8 (TPT)

Do you now see that it’s possible to have a worry-free life?

The scripture says: DON’T BE WORRIED ABOUT A THING! Don’t be running around in different directions in anxiety not knowing what to do. Don’t be confused about your situation. There is a way out of every condition:

1. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God.

There should be no day without the saturation of prayer. And your prayers shouldn’t be with doubt. Your prayers must be based on the revelation of who God is and what He has said.

2. Let your day be saturated with overflowing gratitude.
Showing gratitude to God brings you into the consciousness of what God can do. Thanksgiving is the greatest demonstration of faith. Thanksgiving is the confidence and faith that the Lord has already done what He says He will do.

3. With the heart of thanksgiving or gratitude you tell God every detail of your life.

Take note: Nobody calls upon the Lord in faith and fails. As you talk to God, His wonderful peace that transcends human understanding will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ.

Now did you also notice that your prayers must not be done on some days in a week or even once a day?

You must be saturated in prayer THROUGHOUT EACH DAY.

And as you do that:

4. Instead of occupying your mind or thoughts on the matters which create anxiety, you must keep or fasten your thoughts continually on all that is:
– authentic and real
–  honorable and admirable
–  beautiful and respectful
–  pure and holy
– merciful and kind
– every glorious work of God, praising him always.

Faith is prompt to outsource every form of worry or anxiety to the Lord. Make a decision today to live a worry-free life.

Hallelujah!
