Overcoming Anxiety - 3 Biblical Steps to Lasting Peaceنموونە

Talk to God About Everything

One of the enemy’s greatest tactics is to create distance between you and God. If he can convince you that God is your problem instead of your answer, or that He doesn't care about you or your problems, then he’s got you right where he wants you. Or if he can distract you from prayer, he can fill that gap with fear, anxiety, and lies.

Life today is filled with distractions. There’s so much going on that it’s easy to push God to the perimeter of your life, but His design has always been that He would be at the center, guiding your every step, decision, and desire. When you put Him first, everything else finds its proper place.

Jesus told us in Matthew 6:33 to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. He doesn’t want to be just an afterthought in your daily life; He wants to be the focus of your heart. Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us to 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. When God is at the center, your life aligns with His purpose, and you can experience His peace, direction, and blessing.

The way to do that is to pray (or talk to God) constantly throughout your day. Prayer isn’t just a ritual—it’s the language of your relationship with God. It’s how you stay aware of His presence and peace throughout the day. You don’t have to use fancy words to pray; a simple prayer like, “Jesus, be with me in every part of today,” is powerful.

When you bring your concerns to God with gratitude, His peace can guard your heart and mind (Philippians 4:6-7). You can cast every care on Him, knowing He tenderly cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Keep in constant conversation with Him every day, trusting Him to give you peace that goes beyond understanding.
