Proverbs 12:25
An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.

The meaning of anxious is feeling or showing worry, nervousness or unease about something with an uncertain outcome. This is one of the greatest weapon used to distract us from God.

What are we anxious about today? May be wanting to have a good job, to get married, or having a peaceful marriage, or the future of the children…..

(Philippians 4:6-7) Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, 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.

Application

Write down all the anxieties you have in a book and surrender them to God. After a year try to read them and see what God has done when you trust Him (Ecclesiastes 11:10) So then, banish anxiety from your heart.
