I don't think my corruptible  in the flesh body will have any place for concern to me when I am absent from it and present with my Lord.

Well said!

No God wants us to be saved, that is the priority  if we get to heaven damaged so be it, heaven is the goal not beautiful lives.

Can't He want Both.   Salvation is a compound thing covering many aspects

^{1 Peter 5: 6} Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, ⁷ casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

 At one point in our life  or many points we have all met with the sparkly eyes nemesis  called Anxiety. Especially in these times when life seems some perilous some times we are tempted to fall into a puddle of our own tears and give up.  But we do not have to to do that for God has given us the perfect prescription to cure it'

 

Philippians 4:⁶ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Step One: pray and give your trouble to god and do so fervently, for it is effective fervent prayer of a righteous person that avails much. And when you pray THANK God for answering your prayers. For it is faith in God that He will do what He says that makes that fervent prayer effective

 

Philippians 4: ⁷ and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Step Two; Receive the peace of God that will help you stand against the waves that are beating against you

 

Philippians 4:⁸ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things

 

Step 3: (and the one most skipped) Get your mind off of it. you have given your problems to God, the last thing you want to do is take them back. Refuse to think about then and trust God. Be proactive in tearing down those worries. If you know and believe God will help you, then these other things are just noise

2 Cor 10: ⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not ^[a]carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, ⁵ casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,

That's it, the 3 step prescription to weed anxiety out of your heart

But all of this is predicated on your belief that God is your God and He can and will help you. And that is who He is

Isaiah 40:

28 Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

 

Give it God....He wants you to be at peace and healthy and untroubled

 

 

 

 

Amen. As someone who gets stressed out  & anxious with my work at times or with life circumstances. The Lord, the Word and prayers have been my saving grace. I always turn to 1 Peter 5:7 where the Lord instructs us to 'cast our cares and worries on Him because He cares for me'. Amen! Thank You, Lord Jesus

Hi @latincoffee Great verse there!

Hi @latincoffee Similarly, Psalm 46 is also a great strengthening Psalm.
