Good day to those reaidng this❤️ anxiety is very common today, because of many reasons like work, school, family, and friends. Anxiety draws us farther from God, draining our mind, body, and soul. So here are 3 ways to rest and get rid of or diminish anxiety.

1. Rest your body, after Elijah defeated the prophets of baal, queen jezebel said she would do everything in her power to silence( eliminate )Elijah, Elijah ran for his life, and rested under a tree. Elijah prayed for God to kill him, but God gave him a cake baked on coals and a jar of water in his crazed state. God gifted him what he needed and let him rest. Rest your body, maybe go for a walk, eat something, or take a nap. When our mind is anxious, do not neglect the body that holds the mind.

1 Kings 19:4-5 NASB2020
[4] But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree; and he asked for himself to die, and said, “Enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.” [5] Then he lay down and fell asleep under a broom tree; but behold, there was an angel touching him, and he said to him, “Arise, eat!”

2. Instead of being troubled, go to God and give thanks to him, so when you get anxious, pray and thank God for everything you have. Gratitude can be a great remedy for anxiety. Anxiety can be quenched with God, go to him in prayer, and focus on God and his goodness and his provision.

Philippians 4:6-7 NASB2020
[6] Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. [7] And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

3. Rest your soul, meditate on what is good and righteous, and you can also meditate on your salvation and focus on the fact that God wins in the end.

Philippians 4:8 NASB2020
[8] Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Focus on God and not your troubles, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead, split the red sea, and rained fire from heaven, is on your side, and your salvation is secure. God bless❤️🕊🙏❤️‍🩹
