Life Alert!  We often try to control our lives without consulting with God, our counselor, first. Our fears create anxiety. Anxiety is defined as a feeling or worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. (SIRI, Dictionary)

We can remedy the causes of the deception of anxiety. Satan would have us feel defeated, overwhelmed, uncertain, fearful, timid, and depressed. We can overcome the weight of anxiety. God gave us the authority to do so.

Today, tell yourself,

‘I will not stress over the things I cannot control. I will turn the things I am stressing about over to God, Thank you Lord for relieving my anxiety. You said do not worry, do not fear. I am entering this day in spiritual joy. I will not allow anxiety to wear down my heart.’ (LAB)

Claiming My Calm Today:

• Enter into prayer and meditation, find your calm space in the Lord’s presence.
• Close all noise out and allow the Holy Spirit to comfort you.
• Ask Him to remove all of your anxiety and fear.
• When you finish praying, take a deep slow breath and open your eyes. You are entering a new calm space.
• Greet those around you with a smile and a kind word.

This routine may take practice because it may not be your normal demeanor, but over time, the new you will wonder how you let anxiety and fear overwhelm you.

The last step is speaking kind words to others. Why a kind word? A kind word serves three purposes, 1 – Jesus instructed us to be kind to one another, 2 – it will cheer you up, and 3 – it will cheer up the person, or people you are greeting.
