Definition A feeling that causes worry about something that is going to happen or may happen. We may experience extreme apprehension or the fear of the unknown. The feeling we have of being lost without the knowledge of how to regain our normal thoughts and behavior. Then the Anxiety we feel and hopelessness you imagine sets in. Bible Statement: The living God, who created us, wants that none should perish but have an abundant life. He has given us a free will; therefore, we can destroy our lives if we so choose. Or, we can have a wonderful glorious life in service to Him. He will divulge all there is to us if we only seek His face. He will divulge this through His word found in the pages of the Bible. Scripture 1st Peter 5:6-7 humble yourselves, beneath the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the appropriate time, 7 casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you. 1st Peter 12-13 for the eyes of the Lord is upon those who are steadfast in their compliance of morality, His ears attend to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. 13 who is there to harm you if you prove enthusiastic for what is good?

A man who is unmarried can spend his time doing the Lord's work and thinking how to please him. 33 a married man can't do that as well he has to think about his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife. Psalms 94:19 when my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Gods consolations delight my soul. Isaiah 35:4 Tell those who are fearful-hearted, take courage, do not fear. Behold, your God will come with vengeance. The recompense of God will come, but He will save you. Matthew 6:31-34 don’t be anxious saying what shall we eat? What shall we drink? Or how will we clothe our self’s with? 32 these things the Gentiles enthusiastically seek. Because you’re heavenly Father knows the things we need. Instead seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. As a result all these will be will be added to us. Then why should we be anxious for tomorrow will be taken care of itself. There will be sufficient trouble on its own account. Matthew 6:27-28 by being anxious no one can add even as little as a cubit to his life. 28 what makes you anxious about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not work hard nor do they spin. Matthew 10:19-20 When they deliver you up, do not become anxious regarding how or what you will verbalize; what to say shall be given you in that hour what you are to speak. 20 it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. Romans 8:18-20 consider that the sufferings we are subject to are paled compared to the glory that will be revealed to us. 19 the earnest expectation the creation is waiting “for the manifestation of the sons of God the 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope (when the son’s of God have their outer garment of flesh removed then creation will be revealed.) Philippians 4:6 don’t be anxious for anything, but in all things by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your desires be made known to God (also 1 Corinthians 7:32 - Matt 6:33) 1st John 4:18 no fear can be found in love. Perfect love drives out all fear, because fear involves torment. There is no fear in perfect love. If we fear we are mad in perfect love. (Philippians 4:6) Proverbs 21:16 anyone that would wander from the path of understanding comes to rest in the company of the dead. Matthew 13:22 "And the one whose seed was sown among the thorns, is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches will choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (God has said that He will know us by our fruit. Luke 21:34 Be alert keep your hearts from being weighted down with debauchery and drunkenness and the uncertainties of life, for that day may come on you suddenly like a trap; Luke 8:14 the seed which fell among the thorns, represents the ones who have heard, but yet go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of life on earth, they do not mature James 1:2-3 consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter a variety of trials. 3 Be aware testing of your faith produces endurance.

Comment When we allow the anxiety we feel and hopelessness we imagine sets in it is sin, for we then do not trust God. Our priorities are all wrong we are too busy thinking of ourselves. We cannot see the forest for the trees. We are blind to what we should do. See Galatians 6:2 carry one another's burdens this will fulfill the law of Christ. Think of this before the beginning of time as we knew it God knew us and everything we would do yet He loved us. God’s love for His creation is way beyond our comprehension. He sent his only begotten Son to bring us from the grips of sin and destruction and everlasting abundant life.
