Do you feel like your happiness is ebbing away?

God’s Word offers the most help in producing calmness and happiness. Consider these verses with a few suggestions for implementation:

Philippians 4:6-8 (nasb): “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.”

We are told to pray instead of worry. The next time and every time you find yourself being worried, try this labeling technique:

“Now you are worrying again.”

“Stop.”

“Be anxious for nothing.” You may want to vary step 3 with a few words from the following and other Bible verses.

1 Peter 5:7 (nasb): “Casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.”

Matthew 6:34 (nasb): “ ‘So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.’”

Psalm 57:1 (nkjv): “Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by.”

Psalm 56:3: “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.”

Psalm 34:4: “I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”

  • How does happiness happen for you?
    God is more concerned in our holiness than our happiness, because our holiness will lead to ultimate happiness!

Holy>Healthy>Happy!

Rejoicing, On the Victory Side!
