Charles Stanley - Dealing With Anxiety

Everywhere we turn, people are worried about something. But anxiety and frustration are not part of God’s plan for our lives. In this sermon, Dr. Stanley uses Scripture to explain how anxiety may be natural but, left in our hands, can grow into a much bigger problem. Anxiety should be a passing thing—placed in the hands of the Father who knows all things.

We live in an age of anxiety. Whether it’s personal concerns, family matters, financial needs, health issues, governmental policies, or global conditions, we all have reasons to worry and fret. We take our worries to bed with us, wake up with them, and carry them around with us all day. This is not how God wants us to live.

Anxiety is not just a contemporary problem. It was also an issue for those who lived in Old Testament times. By the time the Roman Empire ruled the world, there were plenty of reasons for anxiety. Jesus’ solutions sound so simple, yet we still struggle to apply them.
