Be anxious for nothing,but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:6-7

Anxiety is something we all will encounter at various times and how we respond could have a major impact on our decisions and choices that can create a foundation from which we draw from in future instances.

Some people have a predisposed medical condition of anxiety that should be professionally diagnosed and treated. For the rest of us, we are too quick to reach for a pill or a medication to fix our ill when there is a natural spiritual remedy that's guaranteed to work if we are willing to do our part to overcome it.

This underrated and overlooked miracle alternative is prayer. Studies have shown that prayer is effective in dealing with many difficult situations life throws at us. The key is not just how we pray but to whom we pray.

Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass - Psalm 37:5

God already knows what you need and is humbly waiting for you to seek him with the concerns of your heart.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; - Psalms 139:23

When we surrender our anxieties to him through prayer we invite him to encourage and redirect our focus to his promises made for us.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths - Proverbs 3:5-6

When we sincerely submit our prayers to God through his son Jesus we gain his peace that will sustain us regardless of the outcome.

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid - John 14:27
