Anxiety is Bad for a Christian
Philippians 4:6 ”Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God.”
Anxiety can be defined as a painful or apprehensive uneasiness of mind usually over an impending or anticipated ill. As a Christian, too much anxiety is an expression of doubt in God's ability and willingness to answer our prayers.
In our world, we see many Christians getting anxious for settled case as they bother themselves with trivial things that are none of their businesses. We are God's business and it is upto to God to take care of every needs. In Matthew 6,
TAKE CARE not to do your good deeds publicly or before men, in order to be seen by them; otherwise you will have no reward [[a]reserved for and awaiting you] with and from your Father Who is in heaven.
We were assured that we are God's responsibility. Jesus gave an instance of how birds are feed. He explained to the multitude that the birds neither sow,reap,gather into the barns but yet God feeds them. As humans, we worth more than birds and so God will never abandon US. In essence, if birds can depend on God, how much more we His children that He created in His own image and likeness. We are meant to depend on God only and believe His intentions for us is good. So, why the anxiety? Solomon in all his glory was not as arrayed as one of the lilies. What Solomon's money couldn't buy, God gave to the lilies free without charge. We should Understand that God is mindful of us and that He will never leave or forsake us because we are His responsibility. A mother may forget her child, but God will never forget. As Christians, we should never doubt God for once in our lives. We should lean on the words of God and not our understanding.
The solution to anxiety is faith. Phillipians 4:6 says to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, we should let our requests be made known unto God. We should Pray in faith and believe and tell God about our needs, for He cares. Be rest assured that He has taken care of your problems.
Thanks fornthis wonderful post about anxiety. We need prayers to function and chase out the spirit of anxiety.
God bless you.
One of the reasons that people find Christianity helps them overcome anxiety is because at the core of anxiety is fear. Fear over the unknown and the belief that specific things in your life are important. Christianity teaches values that promote less anxiety, specifically because the beliefs in Christianity runs directly counter to the issues that cause anxiety.
great notification from you a debt of gratitude is in order for sharing
Putting everything is the hands of God and trusting Him. It is the best for anxiety.

Anxiety takes our minds and our trust off God and it makes us see our inabilities to resolve the problem and creates fear in our hearts. If we can learn to put our trust in God at all times regardless of the circumstances, anxiety will never have a place in our lives. Great post
Informative post. Well
You got it alright. People are weary, asking whats going on but the issue is we are complaining instead of praying.. It a big issue in christian marriages, no more prayer time, all they know best is lets argue if I'm right or You right.. It not suppose to be so!
Thanks @zotopower
Anxiety has a real killing effect on our well-being, and of course, our creativity level.
Thanks for sharing this precise and nice post.

We need to cast our cares upon him because he really cares about us.
This verse has always been my strength- Philippians 4:6 "Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, make your request known to God"
It is after we do the above that we enjoy peace of mind without anxiety.
