How do we overcome our doubts and anxieties? (Part 1 of 2) | The Old Path | MCGI
Due to the complexity of life—war, famine, death, casualty, natural disasters, etc.—people are engulfed with fear, doubts, and anxieties. The situation has gone so far as to affect believers who are known to be God’s own. Through Bro. Eli’s teaching, we will tend to know how we can overcome these doubts and fears; first, we need to know that believers are meant to enjoy the peace of God that is beyond human comprehension.
This peace from God drives out all fears and anxieties. However, do you know an anxious and worried person can develop some health complications—either mentally or physically? So, in order to abhor the complications, there is a need to seek a way out; one of them is in the scripture, as discussed by Brother Eli, the book of Philippians chapter 4 verses 6 and 7, which make us understand that we can win or we can be freed from the ill effects of doubts and anxiety in this life.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
According to Apostle Paul, the only work we have to do is prayer and supplication with thanksgiving; it is not we that will work it. Also, it is not for us to overcome our doubts and anxieties in life; it is the working of the Lord, as the Bible says. Our request is made known by prayer and supplications with thanksgiving. Additionally, we need the peace of God, and how do we attain that peace? It can be seen in the Book of Romans chapter 5 verse 1.
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
