Her Renewed Strength Podcast | Episode 46

Do you know that anxiety reveals the conditions of your heart?

There are so many ways we can justify anxious thoughts but the bottom line is it always points back to your heart. So, if you are still struggling with anxiety, here are three things that anxiety is telling you about the condition of your heart, and how to move on from them with God’s word and intentional design for you in mind.

I hope that this episode is an opportunity for you to reflect, check your heart, and point it toward God the giver of all grace.

Why you’ve got to check out today’s episode:

• Learn how to point your heart towards the Lord and to be filled with His peace so that others who see you will desire to know Jesus and know what it is like to be filled with His peace too.

• Develop the habit of going back to the Word and being filled with the Holy Spirit so that the fruit of the Spirit will be evident in your life and others will be attracted to you and your ways.

• Get to pause and uncover the root of your anxious thoughts so you can break free from the process of thinking, overthinking, and over-analysis.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” – Proverbs 3:5

Check out these episode highlights:

02.25 – The first condition of the heart: PRIDE

• is a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired.

• is the consciousness of one’s own dignity.

• is a struggle to submit by trying to do things in your own strength

How To Move On: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5

06.05 – The second condition of the heart: IMPATIENCE

• being a go-getter; wanting things when you want them; used to having things your way

How To Move On: 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.” (Isaiah 40:31 NKJV)

09.28 – The third condition of the heart: SELF-CONTROL

• struggle with exercising restraint

How To Move On: “For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1:6-7‬ ‭ESV

12.19 – My sisterly reminder to you: Whenever you are tempted to go into a cycle of anxiety, replaying situations in your head and thinking about what might happen, without giving it to God, something is occurring in your heart that prevents you from doing so, surrender it completely to Him.

Key Takeaways:

• Always check your heart. If you have pride, impatience, and self-control, seek the Lord and repent.

• Assess. Identify. Release. These are important processes you need to go through in order for the Lord to transform you.

• Submit your anxious thoughts to the Lord and wait on Him.
