Many of us have made friends with fear. We have become so used to our state of anxiety despite many warnings in scripture that we should not remain in that state. Sadly, many people are not aware that they have an anxiety problem. Chronic anxiety is not good for your body. Accurate diagnosis will result in accurate solutions. Isn’t it interesting how we are comfortable being labelled with various chronic illness like high blood pressure but when it comes to mental health issues like anxiety disorders people reject it like it means they are “mad”. Unfortunately, it ends up going untreated and many people around us are negatively impacted. Imagine how your life would have been different if your cheeky aunt or grandmother had actually been diagnosed and medicated for bi-polar. Some of you might be thinking this topic is not relevant to you, but the reality is that you are your brother’s keeper and mental health issues are so prevalent we cannot ignore them. We need to know how to minister to people in these situations, and we also need to know how to respond appropriately to them and not from a place of victimstance.

Anxiety is not a modern invention. Though our vocabulary and psychology may be more sophisticated today, the human heart has wrestled with fear, uncertainty, and inner turmoil since Eden. Scripture gives us more than just commands like “Do not be anxious” — it gives us people. Real people, with real fears, who faced real threats. From Elijah’s exhaustion under the broom tree to Paul’s daily pressure for the churches, the Bible paints anxiety in all its shades. In this message, we’ll explore how Elijah, Saul, Herod, and Paul each encountered anxiety in different “degrees” — from despair and torment to control and compassion — and how God responded to each with both truth and tenderness.
