Philippians 4:5

Maybe God isn’t who you think He is. Maybe He’s much better. This devotional will help identify some Christian clichés we’ve all heard that are actually unbiblical lies. These clichés may seem innocent, but are harmful to our faith and keep far too many believers stuck in spiritual immaturity. Learn to encounter these lies with the truths about God in the Bible to bring encouragement and freedom to our lives.

各种形式的焦虑都会使我们变得虚弱，使我们迷失和陷入恐惧。但这不会是故事的结局，因为在耶稣里，我们找到了克服挣扎的自由和恩典。靠着上帝的话语和祂永远令人安心的同在，我们不仅可以克服焦虑，还可以因此变得更好。

Bestselling author Max Lucado explores God’s treatment plan for anxiety found in Philippians 4:4–8. As you follow this prescription – celebrating God’s goodness, asking for his help, leaving your concerns with him, and meditating on good things – you will experience God’s peace. While anxiety is a part of life, it doesn’t have to dominate your life.
