Every time you are prone to worry, that is a call from God that it's time to pray.

Dr. Tony Evans says our proper response to life's concerns has the power to transform anxious thoughts into an abiding peace.

He says, if you rejoice and if you pray, I will share with you my peace. I'll bring you calm in the midst of your chaos.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr.

Tony Evans.

Even in good times, there never seems to be a shortage of things to be anxious about.

In today's New Year's message, Dr. Evans points out that worry does nothing but eat us up from the inside.

And God has a better plan for us when anxiety begins to take hold of our thoughts.

Let's join him as he begins.

Paul says, in Philippians chapter four, verse six, be anxious for nothing.

Worry about nothing.

And we all know that nothing from nothing leaves nothing.

Whatever is worrying you, Paul says is out of order.

And he says you are out of order for letting it happen.

He says, be anxious for nothing which means whatever is

messing with you is not allowed to be made an exception by you. You cannot say well you

don't know what I'm going through you don't know how bad this is you don't know how

deep it is you don't know how long'm going through. You don't know how bad this is. You don't know how deep it is.

You don't know how long it's gone.

Paul says, be anxious for nothing.

It is not a request.

It is a command.
