Anxiety is becoming an epidemic. One and six Americans are on some Psychiatric drug. Phil 4:6 says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;”

So in every situation, we need to pray and not feel anxious. I had an acquaintance of mine, who is not a Christian ask me how can you be at peace with everything falling around you. I thought carefully about this question. I knew that this person was watching my every move. He could not understand this unusual behavior. It was not that I was ignoring issues. He could see I was trying to address them, but God kept me calm, clear thinking and in a total state of peace, Knowing that He had everything under control.

It was this confidence that I had in Him, not in myself to solve the problems or come up with the solution. We can all walk in that confidence because God has given us all things to survive in this world, “and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Phil 4:7
