Be anxious for nothing, 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 minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7-8
To be Anxious can also be said as to being WORRIED but the scripture is saying to us that we should not be worried because as a Christian, it's not part and parcel of the package of the believer.
In A World Full of so much Pain, Misery and Evil, Can a CHRISTIAN live a Worry-Free Life?
Absolutely YES! And I will share some thoughts in that light.
The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 11:28,
"Come unto me, all ye that Labour and are heavy laden, and I will give them rest."
As soon as you give to your heart and come into Christ, you start living a Worry-Free life, in other words a Worry-Free zone: it's a place of joy, glory, beauty and rest where you don't struggle for things, where you don't recognize the troubles and events that affect the men of the world.
In life, most people assume or think that worries are part of life as a human being probably because of negative news heard all around world or sometimes news relating to their families and friends. The world is full of tribulations and trials but in CHRIST, we have found rest.

Take Jesus Christ as an example, he lived in a world full of darkness, corruption, economic hardships, sickness, deaths, etc but He had a different mindset; The Victor's Mindset and as a Christian, that should be the same mindset you ought to have because As He is, So Are We in these World!
1 John 4:4 says
"You are of God, little Children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

There are challenges everywhere, persecution everywhere, turbulent times everywhere that ought to make you worried and even angry but you ought to be of Good Cheer because you have already overcome the world and it's circumstances.
Some people think that being worried is a sign of responsibility, so they worry about family, children, job and finances but that not ought to be so because as a Christian, you should never find yourself in such position because worrying is not from God; it short-circuit the power of God at work on your behalf.
Instead of worrying, choose to walk in God's perfect plan for your life and God's perfect will is for you to be full of joy twenty-four hours a day, seven days in a week, four weeks in a month and twelve months in the year, irrespective of the circumstances you face. Choose to be happy and rejoice always. Rejoicing in the Lord is what you should always do, not only when everything is alright but even in the midst of trouble.
Philippians 4:4 ~
REJOICE in the Lord always: and again I say REJOICE."

Never find yourself in a confused state where you look gloomy and sad. Never allow anything to weigh you down or make you feel discouraged, instead you ought to be strong and laugh out loud, knowing that the Joy of the Lord is your Strength.
When you are conscious of this mindset, it will even affect your prayer life. You will pray like someone who knows who he or she really is in CHRIST. When you pray, you will declare that
"I have overcome the world and it's systems, it's economics, hatred, poverty, corruption, depression and falsehood."
Worrying is not from God and you don't need to fast and pray to stop being worried. All you need to do is just to make up your mind and make a decision that you will never be worried again in life. You would also need to grow in the knowledge of God's Word and become conscious of who you are in CHRIST.
STOP THE WORRY, IT'S NOT FROM GOD!
I hope you were blessed by this message, God bless you!
From your Blockchain Spoken Word Preacher @eddie23!
This is really awesome Eddie..Thank you for this wonderful post....We are not to worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will take care of itself.
Thank you @ifeoluwa88, I'm glad it blessed you. Worry is not from God at all.
Yes, you are correct. Worrying is not part of the salvation package. As a Christian, these things that the ordinary people worry about should not even disturb us a second because we lives above them. Jesus said ".....that my joy may be in you and that your joy maybe full" John 15:11.
The Bible says the kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Romans 14:17. A Christian has joy unspeakable full of glory. So worrying is indeed not part of the package.
Luke 12:25-26
25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?
26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
So, why worrying, rather, give thanks.
Wow. Thank you so much for your contribution and I'm glad it blessed you. Thank you very much. God bless you.
Thank you for attending today's Christian curation show.
Worrying only allow the devil to take control of our lives. We should leave everything to God.
