In what situations do you tend to do this?Scripture Focus: Read Philippians 4:4-7. What stands out to you most about Paul’s advice for anxiety?Spiritual Practice: The message encouraged us to “name it and trade it.” Does anyone have a story about a time when they did this?The Role of Anxiety: In the movie, Anxiety initially tries to help out. When does concern become harmful anxiety in your life?God’s Nearness: Philippians 4:5 says, “The Lord is near.” How do the two meanings of this statement shape the way you handle stress and uncertainty?

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
