ππΎππΎππΎ Methods and spiritual advice to help us prevent #Anxiety
Dear and respected members who follow the orthodox education and spiritual service that we convey on the John's Repentance website; recall that we have taught about the nature of anexity yesterday. Today, we have sent you the next part regarding the cause and solution of anxiety as follows, so we entrust you to read and learn from it.
1) First of all, it is important to identify the cause of our anxiety
Anxiety stays in our life for a long time and it makes our life miserable when we don't know the real reason of the anxiety. Many people fall into this dilemma and are heard to say, "I don't even know what's bothering me." But most of the time, when we examine the root of our anxiety, we find it to be fear. And fear is a bully against those who do not have faith in God and the weak. In addition, the so-called sources of stress, such as sadness, panic, conflict and anger, are directly or indirectly the source and aggravating means of stress.
Therefore, if we are not able to calmly examine the cause of our anxiety and find a solution to the problem, it will deprive us of many good things and our inner peace. Therefore, it is important to identify the source of our anxiety. We should also distance ourselves from negative emotions. And we're told we can't make a difference by worrying. "Who can add a cubit to his stature by being worried about you?" (Matthew 6:27)
If we know the root cause of the problem, we should not take the problem seriously. Often, when we weigh the things we weigh in our conscience, they weigh less than we have given them. That's why many people say, "That's why I'm so depressed," after paying a high price for anxiety. When a person gives in to something that scares them, the result is to ignore the problem. But the solution is to support the God we worship and make a firm decision to deal with it through prayer, but not to ignore the problem with conscience.
2) The battle of the spirit
If we don't know the real cause and consequences of the problem or the situation that is making us streas, or if we are stressed without facing anything to worry about, this means that there is an evil spirit that is fighting against us. This type of problem is common among many people and we need to walk away from this mentality once we know that we are victims of this.
Therefore, by taking spiritual medicine, which means by fasting, praying, prostrating, believing, listening to the word of God, holding prayer, we silence the spirit of anxiety that has made our whole life a battlefield.
3) Believe in God
