Let Go.

Giving thanks in the moment replaces anxiety in your brain.

To let go of anxiety in the moment, give thanks to God for the moment.

“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” —— I Thessalonians 5:18

Cicero once said, “Gratitude is the mother of all human feelings.”

The Apostle Paul, who lived a century after Cicero, told Jesus' followers that “giving thanks in everything”—an intentional verbal expression of gratefulness to God no matter your circumstances—is God's will for you.

Ironically, you can’t follow the biblical command to “be anxious for nothing” (Philippians 4:6) until you “give thanks in everything” (I Thessalonians 5:18)
