Phil 4:6 "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."

Satan uses anxiety as a weapon to rob man of his blessing; but God has also provided a way of escape in His word. How do we avoid anxiety?

Looking at the above scripture, there are vital instructions that we must take note of to overcome anxiety.


1. IN EVERY THING: To overcome anxiety, always involve God in "everything" whether big or small. Go to Him, He's your Father. He is interested in whatever challenges you are going through whether big or small. Cast your cares on Him, He cares for you (1Pet 5:7). He's waiting for you to come (Matt 11:28).

2. BY PRAYER: Anxiety bows when you engage the altar of "prayer." A lots are complaining instead of praying. Don't to tell God how big your problem is, tell your problem how big God is. When you complain, you complicate the issue the more. (Lk 18:1).

3. SUPPLICATION: Supplication also means petition and it means to make definite requests. You must be definite in your prayers. Be specific when asking God for anything. Don't beat around the bush. Always back up your prayers with scriptures. Don't generalize your prayer, tell Him specifically what you want Him to do (James 4:1-2).

4. THANKSGIVING: The reason why you're worried is because you have forgotten that God has handled issues of such magnitude in time past, either in your life or in the life of someone known to you. If you can think, you will know how to thank. Thanksgiving qualifies you for the release of your answers. It guarantees God's supernatural intervention. Be thankful always and worry no more! Your greatness is tied to your gratefulness!

PRAYER: Grace to remain grateful for your greatness is released today in Jesus name.
