If you took all your anxieties and laid them on a scale, how much do you think they’d weigh?

 A thousand pounds? 500? 250? 100? 10? Or none of the above? For the sake of this illustration, let’s say all your anxieties together add up to “none of the above”. I’m guessing you can see where I’m going with this, but stick with me for a couple of minutes.

Since your anxious feelings don’t have any weight at all that can only mean one thing…they only exist in your mind. I’m not saying you’re not facing any obstacles or challenging trials in your life. I’m just saying the anxiety only exists in your mind.

So…that being the case…where do you think the solution to ending your anxieties begins? Right. In your mind.

Will all your anxieties magically disappear if you merely think positive thoughts? I’m gonna say no, and that’s from personal experience. It’s great to think positive thoughts, but your brain is hardwired with logic. And logic says there are multiple stimuli in your world and therefore multiple thoughts coexisting in your brain simultaneously. This is good. It means we’re thinking and feeling and processing information all the time.

Now…here’s the good news. Your brain can be fed better information and you’ll be able to get better results.

“Gosh, Tony…where can I get this so-called “better information”? you ask.

I’m glad you asked. It’s simple. From the manufacturer. Yep, like any good product of engineering, you can go to the manufacturer and get what you need to keep YOU in better working order.

Your manufacturer isn’t evolution or mother nature. Your manufacturer is your Creator. God. He designed you and knew you before you were even revealed to your parents.

And you wanna know what God says about anxiety? Well, every time I read about it in the Bible, I see we’re to let it go. Maybe the most famous verse is this: “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.“

Would you like to like the Creator of the universe to guard your heart and mind? Then, let all your anxieties go. Give it over to Him. Grab hold of that peace that surpasses all understanding. See…we don’t have to understand it to benefit from it.
