The best part for me when it comes to.this lesson is something my wife told me a few days ago. Researchers have recently discovered the area of the brain responsible for anxiety is also the same area responsible for gratitude. So it's basically impossible to be anxious and grateful at the same time. Who knows how to service a car better than the one who designed it? Same goes for us!

I have always loved these words after the "Our Father" in mass: "Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ." The words have been changed slightly, but this is how I remember them.

[@sevenswords8781]

and the end of Mass "go in peace"....Blessed for the day.

[@jamesmonahan9408]

That's how i remember it and yes its changed a little. "..... For the kingdom the power and glory is your no and forever."

[@joholly4536]

Every time I woke up in the morning my first prayer is "thank you God for another new day, new hope, new blessings and grace". No matter how the climate looks like or how the circumstances around me, the important is how the feeling of peace within....God bless Dr. Pitre!

Bravo Dr Pitre. : )

[@avb20540]

Good stuff!! Definitely requires an initial grace from God so let's ask God for that grace in prayer :]

[@biblestoryforchildrenbyrj1967]

Bible says our worry is useless because “Whoever is watching the wind will not sow; and whoever sees the clouds will not reap. " (Ec 11: 4). How often do we worry for something that never happened. Or have a lofty plan or one that seems ideal to us, but ultimately God determines something else. warm regard from Indonesia.

Anxiety lives outside the City of God, in the Old City of Jerusalem.Supernatural Peace, on the other hand, lives inside the City of God, in the New City of Jerusalem. Thank you Dr Brant Pitre, you’re a blessing.

[@reemsuekar8112]

Please, if you may, allow me to add a secret: On your life journey, travel light, come as you are, come alone and don’t forget to pass through the narrow gate to reach the destination of Peace & Freedom, thank you. .

[@michelejackson2184]

I wonder if depression can be classified as a stronger form of anxiety. To dwell away from God far far away will lead you to oblivion. Dwelling in too much of worldly matters can have detrimental effects which lead all of us into a depressed state. Yes it is so true that we need deliverance from worldly things and matters and focus on the love from God no matter what and hand in over any problems we have and prayer is a great tool for this.

Anxiety and fear is part of the flesh & original sin. I have no way to fight it on my own. I depend completely on my Lord.

Anxiety is the Norm nowadays.... It's a sickness...... part of the looming dark that has invaded the world..

[@lifestyleisa]

The secret to peace that surpasses knowledge comes from being filled anew or again in comfort from the Holy spirit of God

[@lifestyleisa]

Could you speak on thr holy spirit because although every one will experience anxiety in some way i know that when we receive God's spirit we are set free from former overwhelming emotions. We are renewed inside out but of course if we don't keep in the faith & fellowship &b prayer with Thanksgiving we'll lose that connection

[@chateaumojo]

Be not afraid and such sentiments are in the Bible how many times? So we pray giving thanks for our many gifts, asking for what we need, trust to God, and do our best today? Like what would one ask for?

[@alfredhitchcock45]

Gratitude = Eucharistia = Thanksgiving

[@sodetsurikomigoshi2454]

Hello Catholic Productions and Dr. Pitre, sorry for off-topic question, but is it true that the Greek word for "profitable" used in 2Tim3 is the same Greek word for "profitable" is Titus3:8?

[@josephpack7315]

You know what would help w my anxiety? If my prayers for help were answered like Jesus promised they would be. Still waiting…

[@alfredhitchcock45]

What is the secret to freedom from anxiety?

[@josephpack7315]

Freedom from anxiety?? The more devout I become the more difficult my life becomes. This is NOT a good draw for new Christians.
