UnStuck: From Worry & Anxiety
Philippians 4:6-9
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice.And the God of peace will be with you.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Philippians 4:6
It seems like such a flippant statement to make to say, “Don’t worry about…”.
Our whole news and media system is based on trying to engage us in worrying about what is happening in our world. Sure, we can say it is to make us aware in order to have greater concern, but in reality, it is doing the opposite. Studies have shown that more crisis situations we are inundated with the less capacity we have respond with compassion. It has lead us to be more of a fear based society because we now have the ability to find out about almost anything that is happening around the world!
This dilemma of trying to overcome worry, anxiety, and fear is not new to God. Throughout scripture he keeps saying, “Do not fear… Do not worry.” He then points to himself as the greatest source of strength to displace the constant flow of fear that enters our life each day.
This Sunday we will discover what it takes to get “UNSTUCK FROM WORRY & ANXIETY”. I hope you will be able to join us as we see the amazing plan God has for doing just that!
Grateful to be on this journey with you,
Pastor John
