Because we are living in the tension of the NOW vs the NOT YET of God’s Plan, many struggle to walk in the peace God has promised even in the face of our anxious thoughts.
Anxiety is not a BARRIER to spiritual growth, but a PATH along which Jesus promises to meet us.

The more we try to MANIPULATE our circumstances to avoid the loss we fear, the more our anxiety INCREASES.
Sometimes it is INSTANT and sometimes it is a PROCESS.
But ALWAYS, your deliverance is INITIATED by God, SUSTAINED by God and FOR God’s glory!

KEY: Didn’t just praise God AFTER the victory; they praised Him BEFORE the victory.
Praise is a WEAPON that we are given to DESTROY the works of the enemy in our lives.
You were not meant to battle anxiety ALONE! God gave you a church to come and TOGETHER praise Him….TOGETHER do battle.
Generosity at Hope.
