Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of asking God to shield my mind?+

We ask God to shield our minds that He might protect us from the worries that can consume us and distract us from His peace. As the Bible says, 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.' (Philippians 4:6)

How can I know that God hears my prayer for protection from anxiety?+

We know that God hears our prayers through the promise in Psalm 138:3, 'On the day I called, you answered me.' He desires a personal relationship with us and hears our every concern. As Jesus said, 'Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.' (Matthew 7:7)

What should I do if I continue to struggle with daily anxiety after praying for protection?+

If we continue to struggle with anxiety, it means we may need to seek further guidance from God's Word, perhaps in passages like 1 Peter 5:7 ('Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you') or Matthew 11:28 ('Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest'). We must also be patient, trusting in His promise to sustain us in trials.
