How to Let Go of Worry

Often when the Lord asks us to let go of a current provision, an increase is on the way. But anxiety and attachments crowd out our courage to completely let go. You cannot stay in control and experience growth at the same time. Listen to today’s podcast and make room for your new season by washing away worry with the Word.

Breaking Anxiety Part Two

by

In this week’s podcast episode, we talk about what it is to avoid negative self-fulfilling prophecies and how to put God’s truth into practice rather than anxiety. It’s hard to not speak our anxieties aloud. It’s even harder to cast out anxiety altogether, but when we constantly imagine and talk about the worst-case scenarios, we’re inviting fear into places it has no right to be present in. Dr. Michelle Bengtson watched this very thing happen in her own life, what she feared most kept happening until she recognized the cycle and the pattern. If you want to see more of Dr. Bengtson’s work, you can visit her website. We invite you to settle in and start taking back your mind and giving it to God. If you want to get in touch with Michelle herself, visit her Facebook page and get plugged into her community.

Breaking Anxiety Part One

We live in a society inundated in anxiety and have come to accept it– we’ve given up the fight against it and instead have begun allowing our lives to be run by fear and doubt. We do not have to accept anxiety as our portion, we can bring our fear to the Lord and let him teach us truth. Dr. Michelle Bengtson is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, speaker, and award-winning author of Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor’s Personal Journey Through Depression, the Hope Prevails Bible Study and Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises.

Answering Anxiety Inside COVID-19

by

What can I do for my anxiety?

The COVID-19 virus has brought an avalanche of anxiety, and it’s never been more important to answer the attack God’s way. One of the best ways to calm your heart in any storm is by speaking God’s word out loud each day.

But let’s be honest – this helpful habit is not easy to keep.  Life is busy and this discipline, while it is vital for the health of your soul, can get lost in the shuffle especially amidst the storm of uncertainty we are all facing.

But when you stack speaking God’s word on top of another daily habit, you will find that it is much easier to make a part of your day. This process is called habit stacking. Here is how you can do this in three easy steps:

    1. Download and Print the Calm Your Heart Verses we’ve created for you for free.
    2. Tape them to your bathroom mirror.
    3. After you brush your teeth in the morning and at night, take two more minutes and say these verses out loud. Brushing your teeth is already a twice a day habit to care for your teeth. Stacking renewing your mind on top of brushing your teeth is an easy way to making sure you are tending to the care of your soul daily.

When Joshua was headed into battle God told him to meditate on the word day and night. Friends, we are in a battle with a silent enemy. Let’s speak the word of God each day and night to find courage for victory!

Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it.  (Joshua 1:8).

A Prayer For Worry and Fear

Almighty Father, when worry overcomes me, let me call on the one who is greater than any giant I may face. For greater is the Spirit that lives within me than the one in the world! 

When the enemy attacks with his lies, let that be a trigger that turns me right to you. Help me to reject the thoughts that do not come from you Lord, and replace them with your truth. 

I win over worry with worship.  

Christ Jesus. Messiah. Healer. Defender. The name above every name. The Bread of Life, the Light of the World. My Anchor in the storm. Emmanuel—God with me. Jesus, my Kinsman Redeemer, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and End. My strength!  

I close in prayer today asking you for what I need and thanking you in advance for what you will do today and tomorrow and what you have done in the past.

May your peace that surpasses my understanding of the situation guard my mind. Amen.
