Unanxious | Alex & Lokelani Wilson

Anxiety is a product of what we seek. When we seek God’s kingdom, we will have peace. Why do we keep falling back into anxiety? Our culture is constantly convincing us that we need to seek our own kingdom. But we can’t blame the culture, there’s something in us that doesn't trust that God is good. Today, Alex will preach about how to not be anxious and Loke will share what makes her anxious.

What makes your anxious?

[@GuuchReborn]

Exams and school, even after your done you school day it still sits on your mind and is a big mind blocker

[@Bodypiercingsavedmylife]

Def when I am seeking things that have nothing to do with Gods kingdom. Philippians 4:6-7 also comes to mind. When I choose anxiety over prayer and thanksgiving, how can I expect to experience peace.

[@to_die_is_gain]

Health and finances...even though God always provides both. God is good, all the time!

[@julianj_7]

My future at lot of times I get worried that I am not enough or doing enough so my future is going to be ruined but I just gotta trust God because HE will always make a way ❤

[@nehemiejoseph5219]

I get extremely anxious and worried about my future. I think of how I’m going to pay for college, I think of how I need to pass my road test, how people perceive and think of me if I don’t accomplish all these things. However, I am learning that I need to not only trust God but to fix my focus and attention on Him. I have to seek Him first!

[@Bodypiercingsavedmylife]

“On the cross, Jesus reached into our tomorrow and pulled all the troubles that were rightfully ours and pulled them upon himself” Amen dude. That’s encouraging.

[@lacicounts418]

We are so quick to worry about things given by the world... These things are only "serious" because we make it serious. God is too significant for us (including me) to worry about silly things. I love this.

[@Bodypiercingsavedmylife]

Truth!

[@washing_vinegar0332]

Amen I’ve just been praying to be in God’s presence because I don’t want to have anxious but having gratitude helps a lot🦋

Pickup truck podcast is such a vibe. Thanks so much Alex, I really felt the surpassing peace of Christ in this one 🖤🖤🖤

[@Xyz123idk]

Amen. Thank you Alex and Lokelani for your beautiful and convicting episode of how to be unanxious. I have been going through trying to get over sin and I've realized that I can't do it alone, and that I need to put all my trust in God. I need to kneel at the feet of Jesus Christ and obey him. To seek his righteousness and not worldy things. I feel alot better knowing I have nothing to fear and to be anxious about because everything will go according to his will. He paid it all on the cross for us so there's nothing for us to worry about other than to seek his righteousness and to obey him. Amen. God bless you both aswell as your family and church family aswell as all of you my brothers and sisters in Christ. 😇🙏🏻❤️

[@yvette3636]

Hello new to your channel. I listened to you guys last week and I deactivated my Facebook page. I have taken pauses but never this. I love the simplicity and back to the basics of your channel. Facebook was addictive and definitely made me anxious and frustrated and feel like I’m missing out on something. Comparison and causing me to be consumed more with it then the Father. I’m going to try and stay off until September and then when and if I return. Try to post things that are helpful but I don’t want to go back to attaboy mentality so we will see what the Lord says. I have a lot of pic’s and memories I don’t want to loose especially for my child. I realized I can’t preach to my 12 yo about the traps of social media if I’m trapped myself. Thank you both for your teachings

[@moggedstudio]

This came to me at the perfect time. I was just freaking out thinking I was about to have a panic attack. Then this was the next thing in my feed. The lord will always take care of your needs. God bless you all.

[@janetreyes2777]

Thanks!

[@Bodypiercingsavedmylife]

“Pray for tomorrow instead of being anxious about it”! Good stuff Alex, really helpful prayer idea dude.

[@Christian-.]

i felt like this episode was made for me honestly😢 Jesus always tells me what i don’t want to hear but what i need to hear. perfect timing ❤️

[@03cnutty]

Thanks for sharing God’s Word🙌🏻

[@himthesun]

Well said Alex, chasing my own kingdom is what makes me anxious. Long story short I come a long way from a kid who used to make circular music, I was living for the pleasures of the world, and now I have managed to find my way back to Jesus, although I still get out of my ways and go back to the old whenever I seek my own Kingdom. I'm so into making music that I have been having thoughts of leaving it because it distracts me from seeking first the kingdom of God but I have realized that it's not even about just the music, it's about me wanting to seek my own kingdom with the music. Thank you so much for preaching about this, I'm currently fighting with this as of right now and I just thought let me grab my bible and listen to Amen Podcast, I feel a lot calmer and it's all because I have chosen to seek God right now, who knows? I would probably have done something that I would regret and dwell on for the next few hours. Be Blessed Mr Wilson.

[@dannyreborn]

Amen instead of worrying about tomorrow, pray about tomorrow. Praise Jesus Christ

hey, im 15! i would say, what makes me anxious is: maintaining a certain status at school academically and social media. thankfully, i deleted social media because God wanted me to. ❤

[@countrysister700]

So wise! The peer pressure now becomes a tidal wave in the adult workplace, when you have a young family (comparing your visuals, possessions, kid behavior, house size etc). Let God lead, heal and build you up. You've opened the door wide for blessing by doing this - at least until or unless God leads you to use such tools in healthy peaceful ways.

[@noaheichhorst7762]

After listening to this and lifting my anxiousness due to my Divorce, I cried and let go of holding my feelings back for the week. My therapist can't do what you two have done for me. I thank you both for preaching the good word.

[@scalessnature987]

Everything. Everything makes me anxious. I'm worried I'll never make enough money. I look at my son and I see the failed 7 years of trying with his mom that I'm no longer with. I'm anxious about my christian walk because I'm not perfect. I'm anxious about everything. This helped me a lot because I haven't put God first. I'll definitely take this to heart❤

[@J010xx]

I needed this. Thank you! - God has blessed me with an opportunity for a new job and I have been feeling so anxious. I just need to trust God and his plan for me. I’m young and need to take this leap with my career and trust that the lord will guide me to my future. I need to trust God’s plan!

[@DVINEPEACE95]

Thank you for the encouragement! Love you guys. God bless.

[@marYawn07]

My peers and school make me anxious. I'm insecure about my acne, so always anxious about the thoughts of other people, even my own family members. For school, grades and what my future could look like are what's always going on in my mind. But, knowing that I can take one day at a time because God is ultimately the one in control (not me), and also knowing that He is the only one that truly matters, it sets me free and leaves me with peace. It's amazing to know that the creator of life wants to have a relationship with me, and the invitation to a life with Him is right in front of me, just as Mary saw that Jesus was right there in their home. Amen.

[@Christian-.]

hi☀️! i’d just like to say, i have dealt with the same things. my acne used to be bad and i even had to go on medication for it. and people in my family has also pressurised me to become a doctor. but what i can say to you is…focus on God. He sees you as beautiful with or without your acne. acne is a normal teenage experience and you are made in His image so YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! second…you are the only one living your life and you should get to decide what you want to become and what makes you happy. ask God to guide you. you’re in my prayers 🤍

powerful message, really found this so helpful ive been dealing with anxiety every night until I started praying about it I let go completely , I also realised it stems from not trust God fully with our situations and where we're at in the moment, we have to let go and trust God and put him first, even if its scary trust God fully. I like telling my friend " Just let go and fall Jesus will catch you" so I thank you guys for this message

“Earthly riches does not equate to righteousness.” Man, that was so good.

[@thulanindaba2831]

Amen! This is so goooood! 🔥My anxiety has come from the need to be flawless at university. I'm 27 years old in 1st year and when the year began I just wanted to dominate and be the best student and get the highest marks. But that has created some really high unrealistic expectations of myself and I feel drained to tell the truth. I'm glad it's the end of my first semester and I get the opportunity to seek God during recess and approach this whole education thing from a perspective of building His kingdom and not my own. Amen!

I’ve been anxious about money lately. This month is full of expenses since it’s a really busy month. I’m not working at the moment so I rely on my parents and I was anxious because I didn’t want to put such a burden on them and I cried but the Lord really used my Mom to comfort me. The Lord always provides but I wasn’t trusting as I should have

[@kirstencote7013]

I've been reading a couple books this past month. "The Insanity of God," and "Revelution in World Missions." and it talks about how much God loves his people. The books go over Matthew 28:16-20 how important it is to reach out to the lost souls in this broken world. That we have to be careful on how we satisfy the needs of our flesh because if we fill the desires with food, clothes and money. We forget the main spirit behind our healing. Jesus CHrist. and it makes me reconsider why I do certain things. DO I fill my time to distract myself from pain? Do I do these things to make me feel better? When I truly need to dive deeper and tap into Jesus Christ because it is through the power of the cross that we are truly satisfied. And that is the true message of the Gospel. That no matter what we do, we can never ease our anxiousnous however through Christ we shall be satisfied in all we do because all we do is for the glory of Jesus Christ. I love your podcasts, their always amazing to listen and very encouraging and always seems to hit my heart everytime i listen. I pray a blessing over your family while in missions on spreading the Gospel to the unreached nations. God bless you both! Matthew 28:16-20

I'm 28 and I recently started driving independently and I can get anxious before and as I get in the car, espeically if I know I have to stop and get gas (the gas station near my house is just awkward) Whenever I am about to drive and when I am driving I am constantly praying, giving thanks, and if I make a mistake, I just remind myself that it's in the past and that welp I'm still alive and I didn't crash into another car, anyone, or anything. I also have an acronym that I say to myself - LSSS (Lane, Speed, Signal, Stop).

[@TheDisciplesJournal]

something that would make me anxious at times is when i think i’m putting things before God, for example before I plan to play the game with friends I feel this anxious feeling that I could be putting it before God but I always tend to make sure I read my bible and spend my quality time with God before I do get to enjoy my time with friends and I felt like i’ve gotten this sign from my pastor to do bible studies on there but from time to time I still get anxious about it. I feel like it could be the enemy trying to abuse my anxiety so I can struggle more.

[@TheDisciplesJournal]

and after doing these bible studies i’ve seen a new side of some of my friends I haven’t never seen before and I’ve got to see how they trust in God in there life.

[@cortneycross802]

This may sound crazy but just existing brings me anxiety…. I’m always afraid something bad is going to happen… which this bad thing will lead to my death,.. I’m afraid of dying and I walk Around in a ball of anxiety bc of it… I’m currently having health issues and can’t stop worrying/stressing/being anxious about it… some say childhood trauma is part of it but I also know I have issues trusting God -and I hate that bc He is trustworthy and I just can’t understand why I can’t trust him fully

[@rashaunellis1339]

No, you’re not crazy…or alone. I hope you feel peace and healing from these anxieties. I believe they’re lies from the enemy to keep you from existing fully, and to be fully happy. I came across a passage yesterday in my Bible Study called “Abiding in the Prince of Peace (How to Win Your Mental War)” John 15:1-15. In it, Verse 10 says He commands us to remain in His love, and we will do so by obeying His commands. Verse 11 says “I have told you these things so that you can have the same joy I have. I want your joy to be the fullest joy” One of Jesus’ commands is to not worry. If we don’t follow that, we won’t remain in His love cuz we’re constantly holding the burden of our anxiety. It’s impossible to feel His love and “peace beyond all understanding”then. Something I realized yesterday when I was feeling anxious and trying to practice everyday now. :) I pray for you to feel better, to find freedom from the sick lie that’s been taking away from you, in Jesus’ name. Amen
