Background:

• To be anxious means to be worried or nervous
• Worries can sometimes be the elephant in the room
• What we worry about tends to be legitimate issues (kids, marriage, money, etc.)
• We all worry about the what if's that may not come to pass

Key Sermon Points:

1. Jesus got that

• We may not see how God is going to do it but we need to have faith and trust in God (John 6:31 & 1 Cor 10:4)
• We do not need to worry (John 6:31 & 1 Cor 10:4 & Deut. 29:5)

2. Key to getting what's needed

• If we are saved Jesus is our connection to the kingdom of God
• Seek first the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33)
• Jesus is a way maker and we must seek Him with all our heart, mind and strength (Romans 8:28)
• We may not know how He will do it but it will be done perfectly

3. What about tomorrow

• We do not need to worry about tomorrow
• Sometimes we get so depressed we fall asleep (Luke 22:39-45)
• Anxiety in the heart of a man causes depression (Proverbs 12:25)

4. What if I'm anxious

• We need to change our anxieties into a prayer list (Psalms 51:6 & Philippians 4:6-7)
• We need to be truthful
• Pray without ceasing (1Thess. 5:17)
• God wants our humble and earnest specific prayer (James 5:16)
• Do not come to him with half truths
• Do not hold back give it to Him
• He already knows what we need He just wants to see if we will be honest about it
• Give Supplication with thanksgiving (1 Thess 5:18)
• We need to let all of our  requests be known to God ( 1 Peter 5:7)
• Only God can deliver us
• God's peace is 2 fold:
  • Deliver the faithful believer through trials and tribulations (Psalms 31:4)
  • Guard standing serious watch over our heart and mind
• This peace only comes from knowing Jesus Christ
• Jesus has all supernatural power and we can depend on Him
• We need to stop worrying and get ready for our blessing
