When you’re wondering how to overcome anxiety, one of the best things you can do is shift your perspective. In this message, we’ll learn from the story of Paul and Silas, who were thrown into prison for their beliefs. But that didn’t stop them from keeping their focus on God’s provision. Anxiety will always try to keep your attention—join Pastor Craig Groeschel to see why a perspective of praise will help you discover true miracles as you’re learning how to overcome anxiety.

A GUIDE TO FINDING PEACE
What if you could be anxious for nothing—even though there are still things to be anxious about? Maybe you can. We asked a few people who have firsthand experience battling anxious thoughts or helping those who do to share a few things they’ve learned along the way.

ABOUT ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7 NIV

    God bless you. Thank you for addressing difficult issues. I believe that when people like you are so honest, then your church loves you MORE, NOT LESS!!! Cuz then the rest of us badly broken human beings can try to be open and honest too!!! Talk about Jesus setting people FREE!
  • I listen to these daily and almost am brought to tears. Thank you life church please never stop preaching
  • I have to say, this series has been a game changer for me and my mental health, but especially this sermon. God broke down the walls in my heart through this message, and released me from the enemy’s chains. I have felt helpless for far too long. Praise the Lord for what He is doing through you. Nothing short of a miracle has happened in my heart. Thank you.

    One of the things I've done is write down the list of thoughts, lies that make you feel anxious, then write a list of Blessings, Things you are Grateful for and Prayers that God has answered. Keep going and write them everyday New prayers answered and more Blessings and you will notice the list of Blessings and things that are true will become.bigger and bigger than the list of lies the enemy attacks you with. In other words bury the lies with Truth in Jesus Name Amen.

    When God first tells people about "tithing", He says they are to come with rejoicing! Thankful for all their blessings. (Dt.)
  • @megamurni1483
    You have no idea how your preaching has helped me so much in this moment of dire need.
  • @MB-jg1js
    Amazing sermon! I needed to hear this today. More than anyone could possibly know. Thank you so much, seriously. I will be sharing this today! God bless Pastor Craig and Life Church!
  • @coutim5038
    Thank you Pastor Craig for your message and your realness. I am a secretary at a church in south africa and have been struggling with my faith for years trying desperately to believe that God is still with me.
  • Thanks for this Message. I've had bouts. I've learned how not to listen to negativity Pace myself, stay prayed up and encourage myself daily. I don't say My Anxiety, because it gives it ownership. It thinks it have a right to reside in my mind, but only a little bit. I tell it where to go. I have a stuffed racoons that I have by my front door, and I use it as a fear tactic. So, when I come up against something. I punch it and say No Weapon formed against Me shall prosper. So far, so good. I want the Devil know, he has no place in my life. It may come for a little, bit but it don't last.

    Praise Jesus by Faith not when you feel like it. When we do this it becomes part of us and a spiritual habit is formed! Praise him in the midst of a storm not waiting for calmness to occur. There is Power in Praise!!!!
  • @Lady4121
    This literally changed me!!!! Thank you!!!
  • @kimriseul_02
    I loooove this. Plus what an amazing voice that worship leader have! 🙌🏻
  • Wow, that was awesome..... God must be making a move. 3 weeks ago I preached a message on GROW in Your Desert and it lined up beautifully with Pastor Craig's message. I just love the confirmation that I was on the right track... Thank you, Pastor Craig, for letting God use and lead you. GROW G et The Right Perspective R emember What God Has Done O pen Your Ears and Your Heart W orship The Who And Not The What I jumped out of my seat when he started talking about perspective, then how paul remembered. It just kept getting better when he said praise the Who and not the what, and to top it off God speaking to him and giving him purpose for the pain. I'm just amazed at how God works...
