SPANISH ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING

En todo momento tenemos mucha ansiedad, pero existe una receta para lidiar con ella. Max Lucado invita a los lectores a un estudio de Filipenses 4.6-7 donde el Ap�stol Pablo amonesta a los seguidores de Cristo, "Por nada esteis afanosos...". Filipenses 4.6 anima a los creyentes "Por nada esteis afanosos". Como Lucado lo afirma, el ap�stol Pablo da muy poca libertad al respecto. "Por nada esteis afanosos. Nada. Ninguno. Cero". �Qu� es lo que sugiere? �Que no deber�amos inquietarnos por absolutamente nada? Lucado dice, "La presencia de la ansiedad es inevitable, pero la prisi�n de la ansiedad es opcional. Es vivir en ansiedad constante lo que Pablo quiere abordar. No dejes que nada te mantenga en perpetua angustia". "Con su ayuda, aprender�s a enfrentar las calamidades de la vida. Guiado por el Esp�ritu Santo, aprender�s a ver las malas noticias a trav�s de los ojos de la soberan�a; a discernir las mentiras de Satan�s y a decirte a ti mismo la verdad. Manifestar�s una dulzura evidente para los dem�s. La ansiedad viene con la vida. Pero no tiene que dominar su vida". Anxiety is at an all time high, but there's a prescription for dealing with it. Max Lucado invites readers into a study of Philippians 4:6-7 where the Apostle Paul admonishes the followers of Christ, "Do not be anxious about anything..." Philippians 4.6 encourages the believer to "be anxious for nothing." As Lucado states, the apostle Paul seems to leave little leeway here. "Be anxious of nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero." What's he suggesting? That we should literally be anxious for absolutely nothing? Lucado says, "The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional. It's the life of perpetual anxiety that Paul wants to address. Don't let anything in life leave you perpetually in angst." ""With His help you will learn to face the calamities of life. You'll learn how to talk yourself off the ledge. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you will learn to view bad news through the lens of sovereignty; to discern the lies of Satan and tell yourself the truth. You will manifest a gentleness that is evident to others. Anxiety comes with life. But it doesn't have to dominate your life."
