Dealing with Anxiety 2

Yesterday we learnt about the place of Prayer in dealing with anxiety, today we proceed to Supplication. I'd not really gotten clear what it meant until light came in that  direction yesterday....

The story of Daniel clearly exemplifies this...

The other leaders in the Babylonian empire had chosen to conspire against Daniel to see his end. Do you know what they did? They appeared before the King saying:

"All the presidents of the Kingdom, the Governors, and the Princes, the Counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not." - Daniel 6:2-3

These Top Officials of the Babylon agreed together, and came with one mind and for one motive- to sign a petition that would indite Daniel.

What those officials did was SUPPLICATION. They came to the king under an irresistible pressure to have their needs met. If there was a disagreement within the caucus there is a high tendency that the law would have not been signed. But they were all in agreement....

In Dealing with issues that awakes anxiety within you (Remember Anxiety is only a Wrong Response to a Particular thing you're anticipating/hoping for) you may need to come into agreement with a Fellow Believer,  a Brother /Sister in Christ. It's time to petition the King of Kings. That issue cannot keep lingering for long. Why should you be anxious about a situation when God has all it takes to answer it?

Engage the Scripture that says "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven." - Matthew 18:19. This is a Kingdom Principle to be engaged.

Why not find a fellow to agree with on that issue? Put God to test. Remember, the focus for the Month is A Secure Future. Your faith about the reality of your secured future will be undermined by your Anxiety.

Let's work it out. Let's agree with ourselves first,  and then with another Kingdom Citizen like you.. See what happens...

See. LUKE 18:1-6 for More!

We proceed from here tomorrow.

Prayer:

Lord, help me to apply the necessary Kingdom principles to deal with anxiety in my Life in Jesus Name.

Hallelujah!
