He Is The Best Fix For Your Anxiety And Worry – The Holy Spirit.

The dictionary defines anxiety as:

A feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.

Is anxiety a healthy, and normal reaction to stressful situations? Well, I guess it depends on the extent of the anxiety. If the anxiety is excessive, and obsessive leading to toxicity and unhealthy consequences, then it seizes to be normal.

Anxiety is a common worldwide disability that cuts across national, racial, age, gender, and economic boundaries. Parasitic anxieties are known to surface anytime from childhood through to old age.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such, there is no law. Galatians 5_22-23

The exaggerated worries and expectations of negative outcomes in unknown situations that typify excessive anxiety are often accompanied by physical symptoms. These can include twitching, muscle tension, headaches, stomach cramps, and frequent urination. Behavioral therapies, with or without medication to control symptoms, have proved effective against anxiety in selected cases.

While behavioral therapies work in some instances, I believe the greatest, most effective person to teach us new ways of living anxiety free lives is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit counsels, guides and teaches excellently.

Paul encourages believers to be transformed by the renewing of their minds and who best to help with this but the Holy Spirit. Renewing the mind leads to changes in behavior.

“Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.”

Romans 12:2
