Anxieties arise as result of fears and worries, for us to overcome this, we need the peace of God. And how do we attain that peace? We cannot overcome our doubts or anxiety. Most of the times our anxieties and our doubts kill us. They may put us down. Anxieties in life cause so many adverse things and reactions on our being mentally, physically and spiritually. But there is a way taught by the Bible so that we may win or we may be freed. Out of the ill effects of doubts and anxiety in this life.

According to Philippians 4:6-7,

Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

It is not we that will work. It is not for us to overcome our doubts and anxieties in life. It is the working of the Lord, as the Bible says. The apostle Paul was instrumental in writing this word of God to the Philippians, he said. Have no anxiety about anything. Do not be worried about anything, about any problem that may arise in this life. But in everything, in every anxiety, in every problem, in every doubt, in every hardship that we may encounter along the way. By prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving. Let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God. It is the peace of God which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. It is the working of the peace of God. It is the working of that spirit of peace that comes from God that passes all understanding. Nobody understands this except the Lord. It will keep our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus.

In all, we must Trust in God: The Bible teaches us to trust in God and His plans.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says,

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

Pray:
Prayer is a powerful tool for overcoming doubts and anxieties. Philippians 4:6-7 says,

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Meditate on Scripture:
Reading and meditating on scripture can help us to focus on God's promises and overcome doubts and anxieties. Psalm 119:105 says,

"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path."

Seek wise counsel: Proverbs 15:22 says,

"Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers, they succeed." Seeking wise counsel from others who have experienced similar doubts and anxieties can provide valuable insight and support.

Take action: Sometimes taking action can help us to overcome doubts and anxieties.
James 2:17 says,

"Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

By taking positive steps forward, we can build our confidence and overcome our fears.

Ultimately, the Bible teaches us that God is in control and that we can trust in Him to guide us through our doubts and anxieties. By relying on God and taking positive steps forward, we can overcome our fears and live a fulfilling life.
In all, when we express our confidence in God, the peace of God I Christ Jesus will keep our hearts.
