How To Conquer Fear And Anxiety

How To Conquer

Fear And Anxiety?

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God

            (Philippians 4:6).

The Word of God tells us to be anxious for nothing; that means to have no anxiety about anything. Rather, in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving you should let your requests be made known to God. The result of this is that the peace of God which surpasses all understanding shall garrison your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

Also, the Bible is replete with the admonition for us not to fear. Now if we couldn’t stay without having fear and anxiety then the scriptures wouldn’t tell us not to fear or to refuse anxiety. God knows you could live without anxiety, panic attacks and fear that’s why He said for you not to fear or be anxious. He only tells you to do what you have the capacity to do.

So in conquering fear and anxiety you’ve got to have faith in God’s Word. Your heart must be stable in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving as you express your faith towards God. Fear is actually faith in the ability of the adversary to hurt you: faith in the ability of all that is negative to stand against you and defeat you! Thus to conquer it you have to have faith in the positives: faith in God’s Word, faith in His love for you, faith in His grace, power and ability to put you over in life!

The knowledge of God’s Word is the beginning of your deliverance from fear and anxiety. You can’t have faith in God’s Word if you don’t know the Word. Your faith grows as you study to know the Word more. Then as you act on the knowledge of the Word that has come to you faith is stirred in your spirit and fear is dispelled. Jesus said in John 8:32: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” God’s Word is the truth that delivers you from fear.

So it doesn’t matter in which area fear tries to attack you, refuse to fret! Find out the truth from God’s Word concerning the situation and stay your mind on that truth, refusing to be moved by any contrary or negative information. 

Prayer

Dear Father,

I thank you for your Word in my spirit today stirs faith and dispels fear and anxiety in Jesus’ Name. I refuse panic-attacks and reject every thought of worry and anxiety for I know that my faith in your Word and in your mighty power, love and grace towards me is my victory over the devil and the powers of darkness. Amen.
