Life Hacks: Anxiety

Mid-Week Encouragement:
Hey everyone,
I hope your week is going great! I wanted to remind you of our sermon on Sunday about Life Hacks focusing on overcoming anxiety and finding peace in God. We talked about how anxiety can grip our hearts and minds, but God offers us a different way—a way of peace that surpasses all understanding. Remember Philippians 4:6-7? It encourages us to bring our worries to God through prayer and thanksgiving, allowing His peace to guard our hearts and minds.
This week, whenever you feel anxiety creeping in, take a moment to pause and connect with God. Start by taking a deep breath and silently thanking Him for His blessings. Then, present your worries to Him in prayer. Remember, you are not alone in this. Lean on your friends, family, and church community for support. Let’s practice what we’ve learned by trusting God’s promises and finding solace in His presence.
Stay strong, and remember that God’s love surrounds you every step of the way. Together, we can support each other and experience the peace that only He can provide.
Remember we serve a God that is bigger than our biggest problems.  
Blessings, Pastor James
Short Devotion:
Finding Peace in the Midst of Chaos
Scripture: Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) - "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Reflection: Life can be a whirlwind, and it’s easy to get swept up in stress and anxiety. But God offers us a different path. He invites us to bring our worries to Him in prayer and to thank Him for His blessings. When we do this, we tap into a peace that doesn’t make sense to the world—a peace that guards our hearts and minds no matter what’s happening around us.
Today, take a moment to unplug. Find a quiet spot, breathe deeply, and bring your concerns to God. Thank Him for the good things in your life and ask for His peace to fill you up. Remember, His peace goes beyond understanding and it’s right there for you.
Prayer: God, thank You for offering me peace in the chaos. Help me to trust You with my worries and to bring everything to You in prayer. Fill my heart and mind with Your peace that goes beyond understanding. Guide me through the rest of this week with Your love and strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
