 This one Bible verse has the power to defeat anxiety. If you come to really understand the truth revealed within this powerful Scripture, that truth will free you from the grip of fear. But this must be more than just something that you acknowledge or understand in your natural mind. This is a truth you have to receive in your spirit. Here's the verse. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee. The key to peace is focus on and trust in God. As simple as that might sound, it's not always easy to do. When you focus on your troubles, you inspire fear. When you focus on Jesus, you inspire faith. Now, this doesn't mean that you should just ignore life's troubles. This just means that you should keep life's troubles in perspective by looking at God's ability. Fear asks what if faith boldly declares even if.
