It is a frequent topic for Biblical figures as well Matt Anxiety is distracting, harms our ability to prioritize, and fights against contentment and trust. Anxiety is often a stress response, and can have physical symptoms — such as headaches, nausea, tense muscles, trembling, sweating, heart palpitations, backache, etc.
He is anxious due to the scorn of man, affliction. God's concern is free from this anxiety, however. Melo represents positive concern, such as found when the Good Samaritan treats the wounds of the man beaten by robbers Luke Perhaps a more practical way in looking at the difference between concern and anxiety is that concern acts with reason and empathy to alleviate a problem, whereas anxiety reacts with fear and worry. Anxiety actually hinders action; as we lose sense of priority, as we ruminate on our own worst-case scenarios, as we focus more on self and our own perceptions, etc.
Concern, on the other hand, will work to address what is needed, evaluate courses of action, and clear up any misunderstandings.
Jesus points out this difference to Martha in Luke Jesus responds that the real issue is Martha is anxious merimna and bothered by many things, but Mary has prioritized. So, knowing this, how do we actually go about casting all our anxiety on God I Pet 5: Some of the lessons taught in this are: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Prayer talking the issue over with God , Thanksgiving Focusing on blessings rather than trouble , and supplication asking God to help with the problem are all excellent ways as they stop the anxious thoughts, replace those thoughts with a positive, and begin the process of true concern which seeks to fix the problem. Rejoicing is another major way to combat anxiety. Peter says God cares for us, meaning He shows a kind interest in us in all our needs and cares.
The Lord loves to hear and help us as we bring our cares to Him.
Indeed, He shows Himself ready to help us before anyone even calls upon Him! Looking to the Lord to be your Savior from all your sins and sinfulness day after day, week after week, year after year, you find out that is who God will most surely and splendidly and graciously and continually be for us in and through Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Savior!
God's care for us is calm, holy, thoughtful providence. God cares for us; therefore we must not be over-anxious, but trust in Him. Casting all your care, your anxiety, your distracting care on Him, for He cares for you, for He meddles or concerns himself, with the things that interest you.
Whatever things concern a follower of God, whether they be spiritual or temporal, or whether in themselves great or small, God concerns himself with them. Cancel at any time.
