Overview

Anxiety Attacked goes beyond pop psychology's temporary cures by returning us to our only true source of comfort. John MacArthur compassionately demonstrates from such passages as Matthew 6:25–34, Philippians 4:6–9, and 1 Peter 5:5–7 God's concern about our anxious situations, and helps us appropriate His resources for dealing with them calmly, yet effectively.

Top Highlights

“The real challenge of Christian living is not to eliminate every uncomfortable circumstance from our lives, but to trust our sovereign, wise, good, and powerful God in the midst of every situation.” (Page 34)

“Anxiety is, at its core, an inappropriate response in light of the circumstances—very different from the cares and concerns in life that cause people to attend to business in a responsible way. Stress and pressure, instead of being things to avoid, strengthen us to accomplish the challenges God sets before us in life.” (Page 7)

“As you read through the Scriptures, one thing you learn is that God wants His children preoccupied with Him, not with the mundane, passing things of this world. He says, ‘Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth’ (Col. 3:2). To free us to do that He says, ‘Don’t worry about the basics. I’ll take care of that.’ A basic principle of spiritual life is that we are not earthbound people. Fully trusting our Heavenly Father dispells anxiety. And the more we know about Him, the more we will trust Him.” (Pages 15–16)

“George Mueller said, ‘Where faith begins, anxiety ends; where anxiety begins, faith ends’” (Page 54)

“Jesus gives us, His children, three reasons for not worrying about this life: It is unnecessary because of our Father, it is uncharacteristic because of our faith, and it is unwise because of our future.” (Page 18)
