Let us first pray.

Dear Father, the question is not whether I have anxious thoughts, it is how can I control them? You know how these thoughts tend to control me. I know this does not please you. Will you please forgive me where I have listened to my worries instead of You? Lord, I want to have a godly testimony even in stressful times. I need you to train me how to respond rightly to my emotions and feelings rather than follow them or outright reject them. Only You can help me and on You I now call for help. In Christ's Name, Amen.

As we go on, let us first take an quick overview of some of the main concepts we have so far learned. Next page
