Two Biblical Ways to Fight Anxiety: Prayer and Gratitude

Have you ever noticed the Bible says there are two things that destroy anxiety and these two things are also what the Bible says

We should be doing on repeat

Constantly every single second every single minute of the day if you look at every scripture on anxiety

From Matthew 6 to Psalm 94 to Philippians 4 to 1st Peter 5

6 through 7 it tells you these two things

Number one is prayer have no anxiety about anything

But in all things through prayer you pray your fears

You get them out of your head and on to the back of Jesus as he is strong enough to take them

And then it says with Thanksgiving your brain can't be grateful and anxious at the same time

They live in two different parts of your brain

So the two things you do to knock out anxiety are pray grateful prayers and think thankful thoughts

Prayer shifts your focus from the problem to the problem solver

Gratitude reminds your heart of what God has already done and strengthens your faith for what he's about to do

The Bible says cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you when you pray and thank God

Peace shows up and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding

Will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
