I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I’d like to give you the truth about anxiety. Anxiety seems to be a common affliction of us all in these days of uncertainty and in the midst of the worldly influences with which we all live. Would you like an unfailing formula for defeating anxiety, regardless of the cause, and regardless of how you feel about your own ability to be strong? This Teachable Truth will speak for itself and needs no further explanation. Let it touch your heart. As it does, it will kill your anxiety. The truth is straight from the Bible. It needs no further explanation. Just focus on the words. The New Living Translation of Philippians 4:6-9 says, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. {7} If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” In Verse 8, The Scriptures then go on to say, “…Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Verse 9 says, “Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and heard from me and saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you.” I’m Dr. Bob. That’s some advice you can live by. You can listen to my previous Mentoring Minutes at www.mentoringminutes.com/blogs.
