Worry, Anxiety, And God

We all have moments when worry takes over—whether it’s about politics, relationships, finances, or the endless to-do list. Anxiety can creep in quickly and leave us wondering, “What do I do now, God?” At Desert Springs Church, we believe God offers a better way to handle the worries of life.

God Cares About Your Concerns

You are never too small, too busy, or too far from God for Him to care. The Bible assures us that:

• “Don’t worry about anything. Instead, pray about everything. Tell God your needs and don’t forget to thank Him for His answers.” – Philippians 4:6

God listens, not to watch you struggle, but because He wants to help you. All He asks is that you invite Him into your situation.

Turn Worry into Prayer

Instead of letting worry drain your energy, use it as an alarm clock in your soul—a reminder to pray:

1. Recognize your worry. When anxiety starts to rise, acknowledge it instead of ignoring it.

2. Talk to God about it. Be honest about how you feel and what’s troubling you.

3. Thank Him in advance. Gratitude builds faith while you wait for His answer.

4. Repeat as needed. Every time the worry resurfaces, pray again and release it to Him.

How Long Should You Pray About It?

The answer is simple: Until you’re confident that God has it.
Once you’ve handed it over to Him, trust His timing and His plan. If the anxiety tries to come back, pray again and let God handle it.

Experience the Peace Only God Can Give

When you invite God into your worry, He replaces anxiety with peace. Over time, you’ll see how He works through your life in ways you never expected.
