WELCOME TO INSPIRATION NATION
WHERE WE WILL REVIEW 1 chapter of JOYCE MEYER’s book, “The Battlefield of the Mind” each day during APRIL!
The Cliff Notes from today’s reading:
“Chapter 12: AN ANXIOUS AND WORRIED MIND“
Anxiety & worry attacks our mind to distract us from serving our Father with an entire heart. If we are so focus on the situation we can fulfill our purpose. They steal our peace and weaken our faith so we are stuck in the moment and cannot move forward.
1: DEFINITION OF WORRY
To cause or feel anxious, distressed or trouble. To torment oneself with disturbing thoughts.
The devil uses worry to attack the mind by keeping it busy with the wrong kind of thinking and given us a sense things will not get better.
2: LIVING IN GOD’S CARE: MATTHEW 6:25-34
- Your life is greater (vs.25)
- You are more valuable than a bird (vs.26)
- You gain nothing by worrying (vs.27)
- Be anxious about nothing (vs.28-30)
- Therefore don’t worry (vs. 31)
- Seek God, Not Gifts (vs. 32,33)
- Take it one day at a time (vs. 34)
3: TRUST GOD
Stop worrying if God will come through. Just trust that He will inHis timing. He promised to never fail or forsake us!
KEY TAKE-A-WAYS from Chapter 12: AN ANXIOUS AND WORRIED MIND
1. “It is absolutely impossible to worry and live in peace at the same time” – Joyce Meyers
2. Seek God’s face and not His Hand!
3. God will and actually has met all of our needs. He is just manifesting it at different times. He will never disappoint us: He is faithful.

Hi my name is Wanda Howard. I currently reside in Silver Spring, MD with my I very supporting & loving husband, Ken and my very beautiful & caring daughter, Kayia. I was welcomed to the FFF family in January 2015, when I realize my Temple was worth more than how I was treating it! What a journey……..It took a broken foot and several health issues before I realized that I needed to do away with all my excuses and make a drastic change in my nutrition to experience any weight loss success. The journey God’s taking me on is equipping me with tools and knowledge to help others reach their goals and I am loving it! Deuteronomy 2:3 You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north!!!
You know I totally agree that it is impossible to worry and live in peace at the same time. I just wonder why we still do it. I am guilty as charged. God has the final say on everything, so I don’t know why I choose to worry. I am going to start getting my life! Thanks for the reminder!
OMG!!!… I said these very words of doubt to myself this morning “it doesn’t seem like I am losing any weight… I still feel a little bloated… my results aren’t going to be significant on Saturday”… BUT because of this book, I tell you, that I changed my thinking right away. I said “trust the process… YOU are not everyone else… YOU are uniquely and wonderfully made… stop comparing yourself and worrying”.
I am always subconsciously worrying about stuff but yet I say I trust GOD… I want to be able to live in peace no matter what is going on in my life. So like Liz said, “I am going to start getting my life”.
I love your transparency! You will receive everything He has for you so long as you empty out worry and open your arms to receive it. Go head on and walk in your victory!
It is not until I stopped and evaluated myself based on this question that I realize that I am a worrier. I worry about my children, if I’m doing enough in changing my eating and excerise habits, will I have enough to pay these taxes, after I pay the taxes will I have enough for the vacation to Disney World. You see I seem to find things to worry about. Yet at the same time I confess that I believe in God and that I have faith, but my thoughts and actions show something totally different. Wow, working on me – mind, body and soul will not be easy, but I must turn to the Lord and let it go. I need to take advice from my God daughter “let it go, let it go” as she walks around singing the song from Frozen.
Yes! Let it go and make sure you don’t pick it back up.
I worry about my middle son Madden! That boy is a piece of work and always in trouble. I already know that I need to trust that God will protect him from this world that he thinks he can conquer and himself.
