Subject: How To Deal With Anxiety 

• What is your strategy for coping with stress?
• Worry and anxiety are 60% of what people have in their lives today. Some of the worry & anxiety are things that may never happen.
• We need to find a way to deal with this.
• Psalm 55:6 - Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.
• John 16:33 - I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.
• There is no value when moving from anxiety to worry.
• Worry demonstrates our lack of faith in God.
• Without faith it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6
• Matthew 6:27 - And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller?
• Worry affects our whole body.
• John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
• The Word of God is our solution.
• Matthew 6:31-32 - Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or wherewithal shall we be clothed?  For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father knows you have need of all these things.
• Jesus says that he knows the plans for us. Jeremiah 29:11
• If God be with you, He is more than the world against you. Romans 8:31
• The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want. Psalm 23
