And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Anxiety and peace cannot equally co-exist in the same mind. If we attempt to hold on to both one will live and the other will die. Anxiety is uneasy thoughts or feelings about what may happen. Anxiety believes only in the proposition that if the worst is possible it is more than likely also probable.
Anxiety expects the worst and rejects the best.
Anxiety doesn't change anything and it surely doesn't solve anything. Its only product is despair and defeat. Prayer is the act of casting all our anxiety on Jesus because we know He cares about us, died for us, and lives through the Holy Spirit within us. Yet His victory won't become our victory and His peace won't become our peace until our problems are allowed to become His business. Well, brothers and sisters, it is just as easy to think about what is right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy as it is to think about what is wrong, dirty, hateful, shameful, faulty and unspeakable.
