Her Renewed Strength Podcast | Episode 71

What’s up, sister?

If you struggle to calm your anxiety (like me sometimes!), let’s stop and talk for a while. I know how it feels to be anxious. I know how hard it is to calm down when your heart is reluctant and your mind is racing. It is so exhausting, right?

When you have been trying different ways to calm your anxiety and failed, perhaps there is one thing you forgot to do: obey what God says. Say what!? Can obedience to the Lord calm your anxiety?

Today, I am answering that question with a quick recap of Jonah’s chapter 3. I know this will bless you.

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

• Find out how trusting and obeying God put you at rest

• Discover the fruits of obeying God so you can start getting into the habit of doing it

• Take a moment to stand in awe of God’s grace and praise Him

“When we walk in obedience to the Lord, trusting in Him fully, we are not overcome and paralyzed by anxiety.”

Check out these episode highlights:

01.35 – A little background on what happened in Jonah chapter 3

• Up to this point, there are hints throughout the book showing signs of Jonah’s deep depression and angst.

• In chapter 3, Jonah is actually doing what God told him to do. There is no mention of any negative feelings from Jonah while he obeyed God.

02.58 – So, the answer is YES. When we are walking in obedience to the Lord and focused on HIM – HIS PURPOSES – His instruction, instead of focusing on our own fleshly desires, worries, negative thoughts, etc., we depart from that posture of angst. 

04.51 – My reminder for you: TRUST GOD even if His direction and the season He is leading you through doesn’t make sense YET.

Key Takeaway:

• Trust and obey. Walking in obedience to God always produces good fruit.
