Praying Scripture helps you to renew your mind and shift your perspective, pointing you to God’s love instead of your own circumstances. Here’s my Top 10 for overcoming anxiety.
10. Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 1 Peter 5:6 9. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7 8. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 7. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 6. Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders—he’ll carry your load, he’ll help you out. He’ll never let good people topple into ruin. Psalm 55:22 5. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15 4. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27 3. Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 2. But seek His kingdom, and these things will be provided for you. Don’t be afraid, little flock, because your Father delights to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:31-32 1.
