GET RID OF ANXIETY

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Peace Will Be With You

a) Paul longed that his beloved brethren "stand fast in the Lord" (Philippians 4:1), and that God's "peace be with" them all (Philippians 4:9). Paul tells the Christians at Philippi how to achieve this blessed state (Philippians 4:1-9)

2. Get Rid Of Anxiety

a) Paul says, "be anxious for nothing" (Philippians 4:6). Anxiety creates tension, hence aggression and conflict. When people see conflict, they lose faith. When free of anxiety, they can let their "gentleness be known to all men" (Philippians 4:5). Anxiety (if not a symptom of mental illness) vanishes when people trust that "the Lord is near" (Philippians 4:5) and let their "requests be made known to God" (Philippians 4:6). Through their "prayer and supplication with thanksgiving" they escape anxiety and enjoy "the peace of God" (Philippians 4:6-7). 


The End ...
