Anxiety & Trusting God: A Guide To Finding Peace

How can we have peace in the midst of so much turmoil?

A popular phrase in the Bible is to “Be still and know that I am God.” This is an invitation for us to come into a place of rest. This is something that we all need, especially when anxiety takes over.

Anxiety is a powerful emotion that can lead to paralyzing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The worst part about anxiety is that it can be hard to trust God. We are our own worst enemies when it comes to the thoughts that arise when anxiety takes over.

But how do we know if what we are feeling is really from God? And how do we know if what we are thinking is the truth?

We need to be intentional in our prayer life and make time for reading Scripture. God knows us better than anyone else. He knows our heart and will provide guidance when needed most.

We are often anxious about our future, security, finances, relationships, etc. We feel like this uncertainty will never end and it’s driving us crazy. Though it may seem impossible at times, there are ways to get relief from these worries by finding peace with God through prayer.

Prayer is one of the most important methods of communication that someone can have with God. It is a great way to calm down and let go of anxiety.

Prayer allows us to release the things that weigh us down so we can rest in peace. Prayer also helps us grow closer to God and understand his plan for our lives.

Prayer does not provide a formula for dealing with anxiety, however, it should be the first step which is the most powerful step. Prayer can be used in conjunction with therapy, medication, and other interventions.

One way to pray is to read scripture or verse that speaks to your feelings of anxiety. The Bible contains many examples of people who experienced periods of deep anxiety and how they found peace through prayer.

The bible mentions a few scriptures about anxiety. It is important to know that these scriptures are not there to make one feel better or worse for their personal situation. In other words, it’s not a judgement call on anyone’s circumstance.

The idea is to be reminded of how it could help you to read these verses and speak them out loud.

Matthew 6:25-33 NIV “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

God is able to heal anxiety because he can give you peace of mind, comfort, and the knowledge that everything is going to be alright. Beyond that, God has also been known to change how people think about situations that cause anxiety.

Today, many people are struggling with anxiety. This can be caused by a variety of factors such as a lack of sleep, medical condition, or even the simple stress of daily life. However, God’s peace and comfort can help to alleviate those feelings.
