Sermon: Overcoming Anxiety
Scripture: Proverbs 12:25 AMP
”Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, But a good (encouraging) word makes it glad.“
INTRODUCTION: If you are weighed down, it’s time to look up!
Rejoice when you don’t feel like it…
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice. Phil. 4:4 NIV
Rejoice Always. 1 Thess. 5:16
Pray when you don’t feel like it…
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation by pray and petition… Phil. 4:6a NIV
Pray continually… 1 Thess. 5:17
Give thanks when you don’t feel like it…
With thanksgiving present your request to God… Phil. 4:6b NIV
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Think the right thoughts…
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. Phil. 4:8
CONCLUSION: Overcoming anxiety requires us to practice the presence of God.
