“I will hear what God the Lord will speak, For He will speak peace To His people and to His saints;” Psalm 85:8

Fret buster #20:

The government (the rule and reign of your life) is upon His shoulders. He hasn’t placed any of it on yours. He has a plan and purpose for your life and He not only knows where He is taking you, but He also knows how to get you there.

Fret buster #17:

God is in control. Things won’t always be the way they are right now.
God knows how and when to bring about change. Trust His timing, He doesn’t make mistakes.

Fret buster #18:

“Be still, and know that I am God;” Psalm 46:10

If you don’t have peace about what you are doing, stop doing it.

Fret buster #14:

“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

Fret buster #15:

The peace that God gives you is not circumstantial peace. Being in a hammock at the beach on a warm sunny day is not a picture of God’s peace. Remember, the peace in your heart is God’s peace; it’s there because He’s there, not because everything around you is calm and serene.

When a thought of anxiety comes knocking on the door of your mind you must refuse it entrance. If you invite it in, it will have dinner with you, and if it has dinner with you it will quickly move in and want to spend the night.

How do you cast your care on Him?

1. Get out your “fishing pole of faith”
2. Take all your cares and put them on a hook.
3. Tie the hook to the line on your fishing pole.
4. Cast the line as far as you can into the sea of God’s faithfulness.
5. Cut the line to make sure you don’t reel back all your cares.

There once was a man who worried all the time.
One day a friend noticed that he had stopped worrying.
“How did you do it?” the friend asked.
“It’s simple; I hired a man to do all my worrying for me.”
“How much did that cost you?”
“I agreed to pay him a thousand dollars a week.”
“How can you pay him? You only make five hundred dollars a week.”
“Well, I guess that’s his worry!”

“Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

Anxiety cannot abide in your heart when God’s peace comes. It is a peace your reason cannot explain. You cannot ‘reason’ peace into your heart. Peace comes because God gives it to you. Your circumstances may be anything but peaceful, yet His peace can abide within you.

Is there something you are anxious about? If you are depressed, ask God to reveal the cause. It is possible that the root cause is anxiety.

“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression,”
Proverbs 12:25

Fret buster # 5:

If you find that you are anxious about something ask yourself if you have prayed about it, and fully committed it to the Lord.

If you have prayed about it, committed it to the Lord, and are still anxious, begin to thank God in your heart and in your prayers for being in control of the situation. Prayer, commitment, and thanksgiving open the door to peace.

“…And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

The best and only policy we should have toward anxiety in our lives is “zero tolerance”.

Fret buster #4:

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;” Philip. 4:6

Fret buster #1:

“Do not fret…it only causes harm.” Psalm 37:8

Fret buster #2:

How much peace does it take to balance anxiety in our lives? No amount of peace can balance anxiety because there is no balancing point. God wants the peace/anxiety ratio in our lives to be—peace 100% and anxiety 0%.
