Stop focusing on the people & problems in your life. The bible shows us clearly that our battle is spiritual and it should be fought in a spiritual way. I know it is hard to imagine…might sound a little SCI-FI but I am learning everyday this to be true. When I try to handle things without putting on my spiritual armor, or in laymen terms, praying, studying my word, praising and worshiping God I find myself having anxiety over the storms in my life. I begin to sink into the ocean and problems of life. When I start to sink though, I am learning to turn my focus back to Christ (Matt 14)! So today if you are going through something at work, at home, in your finances, instead of focusing on the coworker or the boss that is getting on your last nerve; the wife or husband who just does not seem to get you;, or the money that seems to just not be enough, stop looking at it with your physical eyes and see these thing for what they really are. Learn to reach for Christ first, through prayer, worship & praise, and studying his word. Put on your favorite Gospel song for example, or begin to hum it if you are not allowed to listen to music at work, but do whatever you can to reach out to Christ, and watch what happens.
When giving speeches sometimes people say to relieve anxiety of being in front of so many people imagine the audience in the nude or find one person in the audience or a specific spot to focus on in the back of the crowd and that will help lesson your anxiety. (LOL)Well I am saying imagine your situation in the nude, without the flesh on it, and focus on the ONE that matters JESUS CHRIST!
I dare you!
