About this episode

Anxiety is one of the most common struggles believers face, yet Scripture teaches that Christians are called to fight anxiety not with self-reliance or positive thinking, but with the promises of God. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins walks through Philippians 4:6–7 and explains how believers can bring their fears and concerns before the Lord in prayer, trust God's sovereign care, and rest in the peace that comes through Christ. This episode also explores: • Why anxiety must be redirected through prayer • How God's promises steady fearful hearts • The difference between worldly peace and biblical peace • Why Christians can trust the character of God • How the gospel anchors believers in seasons of uncertainty For more from Anchored in the Word please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/anchored-in-the-wordpage/
