Throw out Your Worry

Philippians 4:6-7

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

One of the best parts of spring cleaning is getting rid of things–decluttering your home and removing items that no longer spark joy (thank you, Marie Kondo).

So, ask yourself: does your worry spark joy? Does your anxiety about finding a partner help you feel relaxed and happy? Of course not! That’s why spring cleaning your dating life requires you to throw out your worries and create space for the peace of God, which will guard your heart–the wellspring of your life.

Now, you may be wondering how to get rid of anxiety because, like most things, it’s much easier said than done. Fortunately, scripture provides the exact way to do this: by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Prayer and gratitude are the antidote to worry and anxiety.

When you find yourself experiencing moments of overwhelming anxiety regarding your dating life, it can be easy to feel like you are completely alone. However, prayer provides a powerful tool to help you combat these feelings and find much-needed peace. By turning to God and expressing your fears and concerns, you can release them from your mind and entrust them into God’s hands. Through prayer, you are also reminded that you are not alone. God is always listening and ready to offer comfort and guidance.

And when you find yourself experiencing moments of worry regarding your dating life, it can be easy to focus on everything that’s going wrong, which only heightens your anxiety. Gratitude is the best way to capture negative thoughts and submit them to God. By focusing on Him, all He’s done in your life, and all you have to be grateful for, you’ll find your worries and fears start to subside. Remember, you serve a good God who is always working on your behalf. That is something to be grateful for, even when your dating life isn’t going as you hoped.
