Worry and Anxiety: Understanding How And Why To Overcome The Monster As A Christian

By Archibong Emmanuel Etim

Worry and anxiety, one of the greatest monster in the human world today, jeopardizing the joyful and happy life of the people in different parts of the world on daily basis. Howbeit, it ought not to have its influences in the life of those called 'the believers'. This is because Christ, their mighty captain has declared having victory over all things (both of the physical and those the spiritual) through his resurrection from the dead and then sitting on a throne raised beyond every existing throne under heaven, and has promised and declared giving this victory to who believe on him. Howbeit, it's seems like this victory is an illusive and defruading statement made by the Lord to his believers just to enticed them to come under his faith, because looking at the way and manner by which this monster of the world 'worry and anxiety' is also causing harbour in these believers' life, one can use that as his/her premises for the proposition. However, in his holy book 'the Bible' the Lord made a sounding and firm statement that heaven and Earth shall pass away but his words shall not pass away, trying to show how unillusive and undefruadulent are his spoken words when proceeding out of his mouth.
If then the words of the Lord is true and there is no lie attached to it and he has declared having victory over all power of the enemies in the world, including the power of worry and anxiety, and has also declared giving this power to all those who believe on him, why then does this monster still having preeminence over the believers and how can he be overcome in the believers' life. This is what this book is all about (to exposed you to how and why you should overcome worry and anxiety in your life after surrendering yourself to our Lord Jesus Christ as a Christian.
It's an interesting book I encourage you to get for yourself as a believer if you really want to enjoy the abundant life Christ brought for you from heaven.

INTRODUCTION

Worry, according to the Oxford advance learner’s dictionary, 8th edition, is the act of someone to keep thinking about unpleasant things that might happen, or about problems that one have. It can as well be defined as a state of the mind of someone being focused on the negative aspect of life situation due to the individual life observation and/ or experiences about life issues. When the mind is focused on these unpleasant parts of life issues formed by the individual personal observations and/ or experiences, sometimes, it leaves the mind of the one in a state of trauma (according to the same dictionary, it is an unpleasant mental condition of one caused by severe shock, especially when the harmful effect last for a long time. Also, it is an unpleasant experience that makes one feel upset and/ or anxious), and despondency (also, from the same dictionary, it is a state of feeling dejected, sad, being without much hope of attaining success in a set out thing to be done or is being done by someone) of attaining success in the thing he/she is engaged or is about engaging in, which sometimes, may cause the being to even despise life and his/her existence upon the earth.

It is also a state of one being anxious of a thing, because anxiety, also from the same Oxford dictionary, is the state of feeling nervous or worrying that something bad is going to happen by one. It is also a state of being afraid of something by one.

All these actions do take place in the mind of an individual. This is why I explain worry and anxiety as a traumatic substance of the mind, which produces fear, doubts and despondency in the heart of many people on why they are unworthy to be alive or be in existence with its uncertainty despondency messages of failures and worthlessness in their mind. It is also a perplexing thing of the human soul, which has left many people in a state of confusion, wondering the worth of their life here on earth? They wonder why life has not ended for them so that they can stop existing upon the earth. In fact, so perplexing is its state that it has left the whole world in a state of confusion of how to tackle its ' pandemic of the soul', stop its existence and influences on the lives of people. This is because despite the numerous measures laid down by many enlightened people to terminate or even reduce its effects in the lives of the people, so that they could be free a little from its pangs, almost all of its seems to be to no avail.

Its trauma of despondency and fear in the life of people of what the worth of their life is on earth, and what the future holds for them due to their little imperfection, still dwell so greatly in the heart of the people, hunting and hurting them every day and night. In fact, like a king in a kingdom having power and dominion over every subordinate of his, so is its influences in the life of people, defining almost all of
