Peace over Anxiety (1)


Read: John 14:1


Anxiety is a state of mind where one is worried, nervous, or afraid of something with an uncertain outcome. Living in fear can cause a lot of health conditions and can gradually steal away peace. 

In this series, we will be looking at practical ways to overcome anxiety and embrace peace in our lives. Today, I will be sharing some scriptures that strengthen us in times of anxiety:

2 Timothy 1:7

“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”

Isaiah 41:10

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Luke 12:22

“Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.”

Philippians 4:6

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Psalm 34:4

“I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.”

Psalm 94:19

“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.”

Psalm 23:1-4

“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

These scriptures give hope and reassurance on how to handle anxiety as Christians. If you are currently anxious about anxiety, meditate on these scriptures, even as you pray for the peace of God to fill your life. 

Have a beautiful week ahead, Jesus loves you!

Keep in Mind

It is very possible to find peace when anxious; no matter how difficult the circumstances around, always remember that there is nothing too hard for God.

Prayer 

Dear God, please help me to find peace within and around me.

What type of Christian are you?

Sister Rose was stopped at the gate of heaven, and confusion filled her face. “What is going on here?” she asked. “My name is Sister Rose Agatha, the General Choir Director of the Association of Christian Choristers in my country. What do you mean I’m not qualified to enter?” The angel looked at her calmly. “I’m sorry, ma, but the gate has been shut against you. Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). She felt offended. “Sir, with all due respect, you must be mistaking me for someone else. I served God all the years of my life on earth. Do you know how many choir groups I headed? How many crusades I was invited to? I was very popular.” “The Kingdom of God is not about popularity,” the angel replied. “What quality of service did you render to God? Was it for His glory or to please men? Remember, ‘For we must all stand before Christ to be judged… each of us will receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body’” (2 Corinthians 5:10). “An...

Drifting Away (Part 1)

Chidi was known as a devoted brother—quiet, disciplined, and deeply committed to God. He was one of those people whose life seemed to reflect his faith effortlessly. In his church, he served faithfully in the choir, never missing rehearsals, always present, always focused. People admired him, not just for his voice, but for his consistency. Outside church, Chidi worked as an operations assistant in a fast-growing fintech firm. He was diligent, respectful, and serious about his job. His life seemed steady—until things began to change. One morning, news spread across the office that their boss had resigned. A new manager was appointed—a confident, well-spoken woman. She was married, but from the moment she met Chidi, something about him caught her attention. At first, it was subtle. “Chidi, can you stay back for a few minutes after work? I’d like to go over something with you,” she said one evening. Chidi nodded politely. “Yes ma.” But the “work discussions” soon ...

The beauty of God’s mercy

  God’s mercy is  one of the most beautiful expressions of His love toward us. It is constant, undeserved, and always available—no matter our past or present. The Bible reminds us that “The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning” (Lamentations 3:22–23 NLT). Every new day is proof that God has not given up on us. His mercy is not limited or conditional. “The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love” (Psalm 103:8 NLT). Even when we fall short, He responds with patience and kindness rather than judgment. God’s mercy reaches into every area of our lives. “Let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most” (Hebrews 4:16 NLT). In our moments of weakness, confusion, or need, His mercy is always within reach. It is also through His mercy that we are saved and sust...
