Stress & Anxiety
Anxious for Nothing
Part 4
Avoiding the Breaking Point
“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are NOT CRUSHED. We are perplexed, but NOT DRIVEN TO DESPAIR. We are hunted down, but NEVER ABANDONED by God. We get knocked down, but we are NOT DESTROYED.” 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NLT)
1) Express my emotions to God.
“…I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I PLEADED with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’” 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 (NIV)
“…pour out your HEARTS to him, for God is our REFUGE.” Psalm 62:8 (NIV)
2) Maintain healthy relationships.
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves.” Galatians 6:2-3 (NIV)
“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Romans 12:18 (NIV)
3) Adjust my focus.
“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.”2 Corinthians 4:17 (NIV)
“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV)
“Give thanks in ALL circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV)
“Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this MINISTRY, we do not lose heart.” 2 Corinthians 4:1 (NIV)
4) Rest in God’s love.
“Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you TRUST IN HIM. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.” Ephesians 3:17 (NLT)
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:28-29 (NIV)
