2.  Worry & anxiety are natural in life. Jesus himself faced anxiety as the cross approached.  “My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me” (Matt 26:38).  But, instead of allowing worry/anxiety to fester, Jesus turns to his Father in prayer. Satan wants worry/anxiety to fester.

6.  God has promised to answer prayer in accordance with his perfect will. “I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” (Luke 11:9). “Whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight” (1 Jn 3:22).

7.  “As [Paul] reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled” (Acts 24:25).  Are you anxious over the state of your own soul?
