21
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 1: for a second, find a safe and secluded spot where

22
00:02:50,880 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: you can comfortably settle down. Close your eyes. Breathe in. Now,

23
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: breathe out as you exhale. Imagine the tension leaving your

24

Speaker 1: from the King James version. When I am filled with cares,

28
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: your comfort brings me joy. Take a moment to pour

29
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: out your adoration to God for his blessings. Jesus, I

30
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: praise you. You are greater than any anxiety. Your comfort

31
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: brings me joy in times of fear. I adore you

32
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: for Ye, who are the mighty and powerful God. Your

33
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: vast power stretches across the heavens and abides in my heart.

34
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: I worship you for providing me with joy. Everlasting life

35
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: isn't always a picnic. Unfortunately, your efforts won't always produce

36
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: your desired outcome. Hardships, unexpected laws, and persistent problems will

37
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: wear you down. Sadness will attempt to become your constant companion.

38
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: You must not accept this. You must not give in

39
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: finding comfort in God while nervous and agitated is a

40
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: difficult task, but you must rise to the occasion. Although

41
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: anxiety is a tough opponent, it is not invincible. Stop

42
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: for a second and allow God to speak to your heart.

43
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: Confess to Jesus the times you gave up the fight,

44
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: those times where the unease was too much and the

45
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: tension was too great. Hand those failures over to Jesus.

46
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: Cast your cares upon him. Take just a few minutes

47
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: to dwell on God's comfort in your life. Thank Him

48
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 1: because his comfort brings you joy. Thank the Holy Spirit

49
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: for helping and enabling you to win this fight. Think

50
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: of past victories his joy has brought you. Thank God

51
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: for watching over you in the past, and for continuing

52
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: to do so for evermore. Thank God that in his

53
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: grace you will no longer be ruled by apprehension or restlessness. Instead,

54
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: you will overflow with jubilation. You will rejoice in the

55
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: gratification of His word. Thank God, because in His love

56
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: and through His strength, you can do all things. God

57
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: is present and he is listening to you. The Bible says,

58
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: ask and it shall be given unto you. So ask

59
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit to give you his consolation to help

60
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: you stay in the fight until the final round. Ask

61
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: Him to be your solace and support in times of need.

62
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: Even when life becomes impossible to beat and victory seems improbable,

63
00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: you can still experience joy. As challenging as this may seem,

64
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: God has provided away. Remember God promised you joy through

65
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: comfort in times of distress. It doesn't matter how high

66
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: in the hill you are climbing may be. God will

67
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: guide and support you every step of the way. You

68
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: must be vigilant and not allow daily distractions or problems

69
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: to steal your joy. Instead, seek God's reassurance in his

70
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: word and watch your life transform. God wants to fill

71
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: your heart with glee and your life with great happiness.

72
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:50,880
