Power for You 

“When Anxiety Attacks”

Acts 4:23 As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said. 24 When they heard the report, all the believers…

Prayer is our first response not our last resort.

3 prayers from this passage of what to do when anxiety attacks:

Acts 4:28-29 But everything they did was determined beforehand according to your will. And now, Lord, look upon their threats…

Prayer #1 “Lord You …”

1 Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

3 Reasons Why Worry is a Sin:

A) Worry hurts me.

B) Worry hurts others.

C) Worry hurts God. 

“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” ― Corrie Ten Boom

2 Kings 19:14 After Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it, he went up to the Lord’s Temple and spread it out before the Lord.

Acts 4:25-26 you spoke long ago by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor David, your servant, saying, ‘Why were the nations so angry? Why did they waste their time with futile plans? 26 The kings of the earth prepared for battle; the rulers gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah.’

Prayer #2 “Lord You …”

Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Psalm 27:1 Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 46:1-2 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

Psalm 112:7-8 They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD. 8 Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.

Psalm 118:6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

“You cannot have a positive life with a negative .”

Colossians 3:1-2 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

“Standardize before you optimize.” -James Clear (Book: Atomic Habits)

Acts 4:29-30 And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word. 30 Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
