I Choose Peace - In Anxious Moments, Par...

Living on the Edge
About this episode

When you have a loved one in intensive care, or the house hasn’t sold, or the job hasn’t come through, or the news is full of things that make you fearful – are you able to trust God’s goodness, or does the anxiety just seem too overwhelming? Chip explains how we can actually turn our upsetting circumstances back to God and experience His supernatural peace.

Jesus’ promise: John 16:33

  • What exactly is anxiety?
  • What causes anxiety?
  • How does anxiety affect us?
  • How can we overcome anxiety?

Choosing God’s peace when anxiety strikes: Philippians 4:6-7

The Commands = the What:

  1. Negatively =
  2. Positively =

4 Key Words = the How:

  1. PRAYER: Worship and adoration.
  2. PETITION: Focus on your needs.
  3. THANKSGIVING: Focus on what God has done.
  4. REQUESTS: Outline your specific requests.

The Promise = the Why:

  1. Peace and anxiety cannot COEXIST.
  2. Anxiety and biblical prayer cannot COEXIST.

Summary: Biblical PRAYER is God’s antidote to anxiety.

This week, every time you feel anxious, remember the following word picture:

  • When ANXIETY pounds at the door of your heart, let PRAYER answer it as you RUN into your Father’s arms!
