Also, what has been helping alot the following sermons, especially the part where John MacArthur mentioned that anxiety is not a business to be managed, anxiety is to be eliminated. What?!?
It sounded a bit absurd to me in the middle of pain and depression, but it is nevertheless true.
Philippians 4:6-7 ESV
"Do not be anxious about anything, 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 your minds in Christ Jesus."
God doesn't minimize or neglect the presence of worry, anxiety, and depression. He offers a remedy.
Our view of the sovereignty and the character of God is the CAUSE as well as the very REMEDY for our anxieties (indirect quote from Consider the Lilies book).
