Antidote For Worry (Pt.2)

*song* Why worry when you can pray
Why worry when you can pray
Cast all your burden upon the Lord

Let's consider what goes on when we worry. We actually take a problem, brood over it, roll it over and over in our minds until our fears and sadness increases, similarly, in meditation, you also focus on one thing but the results are different, while worry makes you more anxious, meditation calms and relaxes you and its more when its the word of God, you are healed and inspired. There's a word for every problem under the sun in the bible, it's our life's book of answers. Look for scriptures that address your situation and meditate on it. Invest in a bible that has a compilation of God's promises for every situation, it will help you. Take God's word back to Him concerning your area of need for He has said "put me in remembrance" because, "He honours His word above His name."

Develop the faith that sees answers and solution even before they occur in the physical. Faith is "the evidence of thing hoped for", your faith is the prove that it is done, even when the reality speaks differently. Faith keeps seeing things as they ought to be, faith says I have a job, I have a baby, my children' school fees are paid, my husband is a believer, he's walking in the spirit, I am at peace with my in-laws, I am a woman of purpose, a destiny achiever. You can't develop such faith and be tossed about by the devil. Its your weapon against worry.

Know, believe and accept the fact that God does not wish anyone evil, so when problems come don't be quick to remind yourself that you're paying for your past sins, if you go on like that, you will never experience the joy of being saved. The father's love for us is so great, revel in this truth, and let confidence be built in you.

Keep your mind and hands busy, they say "an idle mind in the devil's workshop." Those idle moments should be channeled to productive use, read, write, think creatively along your vocation or passion. You will discover how gradually the tendency to be drawn into that state of worry and anxiety begins to fade off. This antidote, apart from helping you overcome worry will also help you become empowered.

I don't know what you're anxious about but one thing I am most certain about is that God cares so much about you, as the good shepherd, He will lead you. Though, He may not grant all your request as you ask as He knows what will not serve His purpose in our lives at that moment but He will definitely give you peace that surpasses human understanding.
