Changing the way we see the environment can be very helpful in managing anxiety. Jesus encourages to view our environment through the eyes of faith. Are we facing a mountain, be it a mountain of problems, or of sickness, or of lack, or of opposition, or of uncertainty and confusion? Jesus says, “Speak to it!” “So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them” (Mark 11:22-24). In his book ‘Ever Increasing Faith’ renowned evangelist and revival pioneer Smith Wigglesworth says, “I am not moved by what I see. I am moved only by what I believe. I know this - no man looks at appearances if he believes. No man considers how he feels if he believes. The man who believes God has it.”
