The First Spirituality Tool For Coping With An Anxiety Attack.

Don't be anxious about anything, but in everything with prayers and petitions, with praise, present your request to God, and the peace of God that transcends all understanding will guard you hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.  Paul

Hear are how God's promises work:  He gives us a promise that will work.  We decide to believe it or receive it, and then we decided to act on it.  When we do act on it, our lives are impacted in a powerful grace filled way.

In the last blog, we noticed that experiencing anxiety is not a sin.  Jesus became blood sweatily anxious, and we know that Jesus never sinned.  Now we get right down to the real nitty gritty.  We see how to cope with this painful emotion and get to the other side of it. When we do so,  God promises to put a guard of peace to stand guard over our heart.  And we see this guard provides us with peace that is far transcendent to anything we can understand.

Check out the scripture above and you will see the first step of using spirituality to cope with an anxiety attack...prayer.  This is precisely what Jesus did in Gethsemane when he experienced his anxiety attack.  Prayer worked for him, and prayer will work for you.  

I would like to give you a prayer tool that will help you get through the anxiety attack to a place where Jesus gives you the peace that the world cannot give.  It is a liturgical tool that, if you sit back, slow your breathing and breath deeply, will help you focus your praying.

Here is this prayer based on a "psalter" type format and 
the "Serenity Prayer."

Dear Lord Jesus, 
Son of The Living God and Prince of Peace, 
grant me peace:

Please give me peace to accept things that I cannot change.

Dear Lord Jesus, 
Son of The Living God and Prince of Peace, 
grant me peace:

Please give me courage to change what I can.

Dear Lord Jesus, 
Son of The Living God and Prince of Peace, 
grant me peace:

Please give me the peace -bathed in godly wisdom- to really know
what I can change and what I cannot change.

Dear Lord Jesus, 
Son of The Living God and Prince of Peace, 
grant me peace:

Please supernaturally fill me with
Power to live one day at a time...
Power to enjoy this one moment at a time...

Dear Lord Jesus, 
Son of The Living God and Prince of Peace, 
grant me peace:

Please transform my thoughts to see this path of hardship
As your pathway to peace.

Dear Lord Jesus, 
Son of The Living God and Prince of Peace, 
grant me peace:

Please Lord help me to make the same choices you would make,
Lord Jesus,

Dear Lord Jesus, 
Son of The Living God and Prince of Peace, 
grant me peace:

Yes, help me to take the world as what it is...
rather than to try and do the impossible...
and fret over what I think it "ought to be."

Dear Lord Jesus, 
Son of The Living God and Prince of Peace, 
grant me peace:

Cause me to be content with what I have
so that I will be balanced and happy
in this life
And
Many times more happy in heaven.

Dear Lord Jesus, 
Son of The Living God 
grant me peace 
As only You Can Impart Peace...
For you are the Almighty God
The Everlasting Father
The Prince of Peace.

I pray this in Your Holy Name
As You Surround My Heart With Peace.

AMEN!

 This is the first spiritual step for coping with anxiety.
You can pray this prayer or
simply talk
With
God.

 Either way...

 Practice Practice Practice 
and...
You may just find yourself beginning to cope with anxiety.
You might just surprise yourself
and be on a journey
of God given
PEACE.

 Shalom Y'all

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
