Kevin's message this morning was on the topic of peace, and the main passage was Philippians 4:6-8, one of my favorite verses that I've needed to meditate on bazillions of times. He shared a lot of thoughts about peace, but one of the ways to pursue it that stuck out to me was to really stop and observe how God has provided and protected in His word and in my life. When I step back and remember those promises He's kept, the cause of my anxiety dims. And that ties right in to verse 8, which reminds us to replace anxious thoughts with what is true - God is faithful and trustworthy.
Kevin gave a few practical steps to combat worry: Stop and pray about it... Make any changes if any are needed or are even possible (because a large percentage of what we worry about are things we have no control over)... memorize Scripture that pertains to the cause of anxiety... and replace anxious thoughts with what is true.
