1 | 1Pe 3:6 "...and do not give way to fear" | 1 Pet 3:6 | jastrumb | 154435 | ||
"... and do not give way to fear" - NIV. Fear of what? Perhaps this is something that men wouldn't understand as easily as women since Peter seems to be addressing wives in this verse. I also find it interesting that my wife struggles with anxiety, she has since even before she knew me, and it is something that I have struggled with to understand. If anyone has a better, more specific, response than the one offered in my study Bible I would be very grateful. | ||||||

The last part of 1Pe 3:6 states in the KJV...and not afraid with any amazement. The essential characteristic of Generalized Anxiety Disorder is excessive uncontrollable worry about everyday things. This constant worry affects daily functioning and can cause physical symptoms. V.5 speaks of women in the old testment days of "trusting God"...SOoo...if we are trusting God what are we to worry or fear about? I'm not a qualified Doctor to give you the advice you seek, but I do know you are not alone. Connect with other Christians who have and are struggling with anxiety and build that support group...Romans 12:2 says that we are not to be conformed or pressured into or squeezed into this worlds pattern of thinking, but rather we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Our souls have been elevated to a higher standard of living, but our MINDS are in the process of being renewed to that higher standard of living, day by day. God's Kingdom system of living is powerful to overcome and have breakthrough. And then we may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God is for our lives. Grace plus Truth equals accountability and responsibility and fault and blame leads to shame. God loves you just as you and your wife are, but loves you too much to keep you the same way you are. Thank you for letting me share and I pray for the breakthrough you seek. Peace inmyheart |

I have struggled with bipolar disorder for many years and after I became a christian, I looked to the bible for help at my low points. For me, I like to turn to Matthew 6: 25-26 (NIV)25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? This scripture helps me to know God's love for His children and that trusting in Him for everything. I know that worry can be for me a time when I don't trust God and His promises. My husband has been a great support and I know it is through the grace of God that I am here today. I pray that you and your wife will find the peace and healing you seek. God Bless |
