Action: Conquering Anxiety

1. Admit and confess our anxiety to ourselves and to God.
2. Ask God for relief.
3. Admonish ourselves. (Spend some time on the verses in Psalm 42 and 43. Think about the psalmist’s prayer and his self-prescription. Notice the change in pronouns in Psalm 42:5 and 42:11).
4. Analyze ourselves.
   (1) temperament and personality
   (2) physical health
5. Admire God. Anxiety fades as we develop a proper appreciation for God, His attributes and His grace.
