Prayers Against Anxiety And Worry

Last Updated on September 25, 2020 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

Anxiety and Worry are an adjunct of fear. If you have ever found yourself in a situation where you are worried about something, you fear that something would happen, then you will understand the importance of this prayer.

If Queen Esther had been defeated by anxiety and worry, she would not have taken that bold step of entering the king’s court with been invited. Worry and anxiety will not bring solutions to a problem, it will only compound the problem.

While the children of Israel were on the verge of taking the land of Canaan, Moses had sent out some youths in Israel to spy the land and see what the land is made of. Reasonably, of all the young men sent out as spies, only Joshua and Caleb return with a positive report.
Yes, the rest also saw the riches of the land, they saw its water, the fertile land, and rich vegetation and they also saw the giants and the military preparedness of the people in the land. Unfortunately, they affirmed that though the land is good, but we cannot take it because of the strong military preparedness of the people. They brought a negative report because they worry about what will become of them if they decide to go into war with the people of Canaan.

However, Caleb and Joshua saw something else, something different, something that somehow gave hope to the common man of Israel.
One of the greatest misdeeds of worry and anxiety is that it takes away the strength and courage of an individual. A man who worries too much will no longer believe in the promises of God, especially when they are not forthcoming.

If Abraham has been overpowered by worry and anxiety, perhaps he would not have become the father of faith and now nations will not be able to tap from the blessings of God upon the life of Abraham. If there was one thing we need to overcome as Christians, it is worry and anxiety, because it blinds a man from seeing that God is capable to do all things.

Some of the things that happen to a man that worries too much are fear of the unknown, fear that the worst might happen, inability to stay up and fight, inability to resist the spirit of fear. And the Bible instructed that fear not for I’m with you, be not dismayed because I’m your God.

How Do I Overcome Anxiety And Worry

The word of God gives us hope, it strengthens our faith and it enables us to take hold of all our inheritance in Christ.
