Stress from a personal relationship, job, school, or financial predicament can contribute greatly to anxiety disorders. Even low oxygen levels in high-altitude areas can add to anxiety symptoms. Genetics: People who have family members with an anxiety disorder are more likely to have one themselves. Medical factors: Other medical conditions can lead to an anxiety disorder, such as the side effects of medication, symptoms of a disease, or stress from a serious underlying medical condition that may not directly trigger the changes seen in anxiety disorder but might be causing significant lifestyle adjustments, pain, or restricted movement. Brain chemistry: Stressful or traumatic experiences and genetic factors can alter brain structure and function to react more vigorously to triggers that would not previously have caused anxiety. Psychologists and neurologists define many anxiety and mood disorders as disruptions to hormones and electrical signals in the brain.

He is not naïve in the way he deals with our anxiety. In Matthew 6:25-34 he tells us three times not to be anxious (vv. 25, 31, 34) and gives us eight reasons not to be anxious. Here’s a summary of what he said: 1. Life is more than food and the body more than clothing (Matthew 6:25). 2. God feeds the birds and you are more valuable than they are (Matthew 6:26). 3. It's pointless. It adds not one hour to your life (Matthew 6:27). 4. If God clothes ephemeral grass, he will clothe eternal you (Matthew 6:28-30). 5. Unbelievers are anxious about stuff. And you are not an unbeliever (Matthew 6:32a). 6. Your father knows that you need all these things you're anxious about (Matthew 6:32b). 7. When you seek first God's kingdom and righteousness, what you need is added to you (Matthew 6:33). 8. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Tomorrow's trouble stays there (Matthew 6:34). Now, let’s get up and do what we need to do… Be gone anxiety in Jesus name!” Thanks for listening! Please leave us a 5-star rating if you enjoyed this episode!
