axing the anxiety addiction
Pastor John Nagle preaches from Philippians 4:6-9 Axing the Anxiety Addiction. ”Anxiety.” The mere mention of the word causes us to shudder. We all hate anxiety. It robs from us our joy in life and turns us cynical. It causes us to lose courage and leaves us unable to make wise decisions. It steals away our sleep or shakes us with nightmares. It sours our perspective and makes us negative. It births fearful anger in the heart and ruins relationships with those we love deeply. It hurts our health and burdens the soul. It takes our eyes off of Jesus and sinks our trust in God. Without a doubt – anxiety is a destructive tool that the Devil uses to addict us and then cripple us. It has to be overcome before it hurts us any further. Thankfully, our loving and gracious Heavenly Father knows our need. Which is why He makes it possible for His beloved children to defeat anxiety and gives us clear direction on how to do it. It’s time to win over worry! Today we’ll study six principles from Scripture that the Holy Spirit will enable us to put into action in order to live in faith and freedom.
