Let us have a resolve to the appearing of Anxieties in our life, to be reminded that whenever they appear that we need to Pray! Pray! and Pray!
We learned from this passage of Scripture to resolve and remedy our anxieties in life by applying prayer in our life. As we look at, and identify our Anxieties and apply prayer which is the resolve to our Anxiety; Prayer linked with, and based upon the Redemptive work of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection.
In Preaching Today on the Remedy to Anxiety in life; The Key remedy is based on Jesus' Example of prayer in His Suffering at Gethsemane, on the road of suffering to the cross(The Via Dolorosa) and on the Cross, Indeed, did He ever keep on entrusting Himself to God the Father in His suffering! His Prayerfulness in His suffering should be our practice of Prayer during great times of our suffering and anxieties in Life! Text: Philippians 4:6-7, Hebrews 12:1-6
Let us Take it to our logical conclusion and resolve, Get this: if the greatest Fear in life is death, and henceforth, comes all our little fears of anxieties in life before our death; Since the greatest fear of Death--indeed, sin, death and the devil has been Conquered and vanquished in Christ's Death and Resurrection; Since the fear of Death is indeed conquered in Jesus' Shed blood, Death and Resurrection, What is there to fear in life Now? Nothing!...but indeed, an Empty tomb the cause for our Hope and Eternal peace now and forevermore!
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
Hebrews 12:1-6 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
