Peace: Overcoming Anxiety (4 of 8)
Series: Relational Harmony in Your Home

Matthew 6:25-34
We're in a summer sermon series devoted to bringing the change into our lives that we've always longed for. It's a series devoted to advocating living life with the fruit of the Spirit: ''But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law'' (Galatians 5:22-23).
We've been looking at the fruit of the Spirit in turn over the course of the summer. We began the series by looking first at love and then we looked at joy. Today, we examine the third healthy attitude a believer is to adopt in their lives: the attitude of peace. Wouldn't you like to be more peaceful? Wouldn't you enjoy your life and your relationship with God, if you were less anxious? Change is possible; your life is not hopeless! But you'll need more power than just willpower in your life. You'll need God's power.

I have noticed at least two characteristics about anxieties and worries. First, my anxieties is usually about my future. Anxiety and worry is rarely about my present circumstance but my future. Worry and anxiety are voices that creep up inside your mind and say, ''I think there will be problems down the road.''
Second, the most anxious people I know rarely listen to reason. An empty-nest wife is petrified to be alone. She has visions of robbers and rapists invading their home when her husband is away on business trips. Her husband asked the local police for records of crimes committed within a 3 miles radius. And even though there was very little in the way of crime in their neighborhood, she wasn't put at ease. Then the couple installed burglar alarms, security cameras, and motion detectors around the home. But none o ...
