Overcoming Anxiety
Teaching Notes
Anxiety isn’t getting quieter. It’s getting louder.
Whenever anxiety rose up, Jesus talked back.
Talk to Your Friends
And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled.
Mark 14:32-33
My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.
Mark 14:34
But if Jesus needed community in His darkest moment, so do we.
Because community doesn’t start with a crowd. It starts with a conversation.
Talk to Your Father
Anxiety isn’t a sin. It’s a signal.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians 4:6
If it’s concerning to you, it’s concerning to God.
Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
Mark 4:35-36
Talk to Your Feelings
Your feelings cannot change the truth, but the truth can change your feelings.
Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.
Mark 14:36
The One who sweat drops of blood in the garden also walked out of the grave.
And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.
Revelation 12:11
You're not fighting for victory. You're fighting it.
