By Mike Smith The Bible has given us info on how to deal with our worries.

2. Introduction:
• We often find ourselves plagued with how
to deal with our problems.
• In our search for help with life’s difficulties
God has the answers in His inspired word.
• How can we abolish and deal with our
anxieties?
• Let us clear our hearts as much as we can
so we can focus on this subject.
James 1:21

3. What Can Worry Do You For Good?
• It cannot make things better!
–It cannot add one cubit to your stature.
Matthew 6:27
–It cannot fix tomorrow’s trouble.
Matthew 6:34
–It cannot allow you to sleep. Eccl. 5:12
–It will not help your health!

4. Realize That Anxiety Is a Problem
Which Needs to Cease!
• Because God said be anxious for nothing!
• If you’re anxious and stay there, you’re not
obeying God! Romans 6:1-2; Col. 3:1-2
• Don’t let earthly things rob you of a heavenly
focus!
• Problem: Worries cause you troubles.
• Solution: Get rid of your worry!!!

5. Worried About Sin in Your Life?
• Must have Godly sorrow for your sin.
2 Cor. 7:10; cf. Matthew 21:28-31
• You must repent of your sin.
• If of a public nature, repent publicly!
– Like Simon: Acts 8:14-24; cf. James 5:16
• If of a private nature, repent privately!
Matthew 6:12,14-15; 1 John 1:9

6. Be Sure To Focus On Good Things!
Phil. 4:8-9
• Don’t allow a desire for worldly things
create anxiety.
– Most people worry about money/riches.
– These things can choke the word of God out
of you… Mark 4:19
– Remember God our Father will never leave
nor forsake… Hebrews 13:5

7. Pray to God for Help!
• “…But in everything by prayer and
supplication, with thanksgiving, let your
requests be made known to God.”Phil. 4:6
– Our heart is to be rejoicing. v.4
– Our character is to be gracious. v.5
– Our heart is to be unfettered by worry. v.6
– Our heart needs to focus on good things! v.8
– God really does care! 1 Peter 5:7
