- What is it that causes you the most anxiety and unrest? Many people have phobias that can be diagnosed and dealt with. Others simply do not know what specifically causes them anxiety, only that they have anxieties in nearly all aspects of their lives. But how can we rid ourselves of this oftentimes crippling weakness? In this message, Dr. Sproul gives us insight to the different types and causes of anxiety, and how to deal with it.

Thanks Lingoiner Ministries & Be Blessed So Very Much.🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🕊🕊🕊🕊
Thank you for airing this series, I’ve never seen RC without a suit or sport coat. That was so neat to see him in a shirt and sweater, strangely it made him even more accessible. I’ve been watching and listening for years and that was a surprise and also a series I’ve never heard and I really enjoyed it. He was so much fun to listen to and at the same time gifted at teaching deep theological truths in a plain and simple way. He used to say if you can’t teach so that a child can understand, you don’t really understand it yourself, that was RC❤️miss him.
Missing R.C. Thank God for all the Ligonier offerings. It just makes me less anxious. Pun intended. 🤷♀️ Thank you for picking up the ball and carrying it. So loving. 🌷
Thanks for the link. I can’t tell you enough how I’ve been helped by this talk on anxiety.
What makes you think "fear not" is a commandment instead of a loving encouragement?
I used to look up to celebrities when I was younger. Now I look up to men like John MacArthur and RC Sproul, but of course, all credit and glory go to God.
Edit: Oh my gosh, people. I'm not saying I worship R.C. He is my mentor in regard to studying and learning scripture. There's nothing wrong with admiring other people as long as it doesn't become an idol in our lives. I know this. It's basic faith 101. Now, please, stop telling me to "only look to God/Christ" because I don't idolize the man. I even say that all the credit goes to God. I know that at the end of the day, we must emulate our life after Christ. Thank you, and God bless. Jesus is Lord.
Trueee
I really like Paul Washer and Francis Chan
Glory To GOD!!!
@@nickochoa8585 I've heard of Francis Chan, haven't looked him up yet. What do you like about them?
@@FallouFitness_NattyEdition his humility and he is humble
I’m a Muslim. I found Dr Sproul on TH-cam while I was searching philosophy subject. He helped me a lot. I keep coming listening to his sermons every time I think of him. Rest in peace.
Please keep coming and listening. 😊
its the Holy Spirit guiding you🫶🏼 only Jesus who is God himself can save you and He WANTS to save you, repent and believe in the gospel of faith and grace and not based on works❤
For you to continue to be a Muslim after continually hearing Dr. Sproul isn't necessarily an honorable thing. Dr. Sproul is either teaching truth, or he isn't. And if he is, you MUST convert and become as a child and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as being the Son of God; as Jesus Christ commands you to do.
If youre going to think Sproul is just some good teacher, then again, why are you here? He's either speaking truth, or he isn't.
Take his sermons seriously. I'm not condemning you. But what I am telling you; is this 'Jesus stuff' isn't a game.
Welcome to the Lord's marvellous kingdom. Hope the love of Christ Jesus captures your heart.
I’m so glad I saw your comment !
God Bless you ❤
Your comment literally made my day and I will be thinking of your words and praying that the Lord keeps you close 🫡✝️
God gave me this sermon in my time of need. I need to trust in the Lord fully and rid myself of my false sense of control. Give it to God.
Me too.. keep the faith
This man changed my life. What a blessing he still is even after his passing. RIP and in your many rewards in Heaven. 😁
AMEN AND AMEN
Hi!
Yes, It’s Holy Spirit through Pastor Sproul that changed your life! RC is a vessel - it’s all Jesus. But I get your point! I say this in Love!
Give Glory to GOD, Friend. If Ya Knew R.C., He wouldn't want You to say that, replying with "i am just a vessel". GOD Certainly Uses Beautiful Means {namely Us} though, does HE Not?)
Yeah RC's teachings, through the power of the Holy Spirit, have helped me tremendously in my walk of faith in Yahweh and Yeshua Hamashiach. I'm pretty sure that's what he meant guys.
As he still continues to do ( and macarthur ) through their teachings. They are a cut above
Oh my Gosh, he was such a remarkable minister. No other pastor could keep my attention like RC could. I've been freaking out for two days; barely eating, barely sleeping. I feel like God himself led me to this video, from THIS minister whom I have so much respect for.
Praise the Lord for the life of this man!
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
Amen brother Amen
Thank you! I needed to be reminded of that wonderful passage.
“God gives His grace to us in our hour of need in a way we don’t really anticipate”. Beautiful, thankful for Dr. Sproul.
Mark 16:19-20
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
R.C. Sproul had such a beautiful countenance ......ever notice ? --- the gentleness,kindness &compassion -- the love ....the comes through & is visible in this man's face is what first drew me to him to listen .
Though he is dead, yet he still speaks! The benefit of preaching the Word. So clear. So practical.
Thank you so much for keeping RC's teachings available.
This was good. I deal with lots of anxiety from mental health issues..it def helps to have faith during these times to counter the unreasonable thoughts. I know God got my back💯
Right on Ms. Gardener! All the glory to our savior!
Hi Gardener, maybe you want to change your diet.
I had severe anxiety and took benzos and SSRI for months. I had chronic insomnia for 2 years.
But going on a Paleo diet and taking a selenium supplement helped me heal my anxiety.
If you have anxiety, your gut is disrupted because the serotonin is produced in the gut.
The Adhd Gardener, I have a lot of mental health problems too, anxiety can make it all worse. I agree, our faith gets us through our illness. I know it keeps me going. Schizophrenia and everything else on top of depression is tough, but God allows it for a purpose. I'm just trusting in Him daily to get me through it all. Hang in there.
God bless each of you for your encouraging words. They’ve helped me. You have been used by the Lord in a way more than you know.
I was able to overcome anxiety during a stressful situation in my life by meditating day and night on Phil. 4:6-7..it's only gotten better and better since then!
I hope that you have been able to improve your situation..😊
Isn’t it AMAZING that only GOD ( through men like R.C.Sproul) can do for us that nothing else in this universe can even come close to do, to calm us ,relieve our fears, anxieties , and worries. Oh what anAWESOME GOD WE SERVE.
This message really helped me understand fear, now please pray for me to apply it to my fear...
Ya that's the ultimate issue - application. :/ Honestly, just taking a Magnesium Citrate supplement calmed alot of my heavy anxiety down last year.
Praying for you right now
This mans calm demeanor led me to want to finish listening, very nice, loved it.
It was the first video I watched of him because of his soft-spoken manner here. Now I watch him almost everyday.
So calming….never got to the end of the message….or even half-way 😂
I love RC Sproul. He is one of the biggest influences in my life.
Mine as well
He is truly miss!
Me too, amazing teacher
I need to read more of him, but I have enjoyed some of his sermons. He has very solid and biblical content.
True, from the West to the East, including Singapore. An influential and a respectable theologian in our Reformed circle.
God used R.C to change my life! He turned it full circle! Praise be to God!
I do feel like most people's issues were from childhood and we cannot remember it. This was a great sermon.
Definitely, I know my anxiety is rooted from primary school. And it came with a vengeance in my mid 20's. Slowly overcoming it in God's strength.
I am a physician
I deal with people everyday with stress and anxiety
I. Consul with them
Prescribe medicine when appropriate
But I witness to them must
I witness to them about Jesus
It is a sin to worry
Give it to god
There is a big difference between worry and concern
But put our trust in god he will provide
But stress is a killer
It affects every system in our body
Blood pressure
Sleep
Our heart
Our minds
Caused depression
Heart attacks
Strikes
Headaches
Tension
Ability to cope
As Christians
Don’t worry about tomorrow
God promises all believers eternity with god
But god will provide all our needs
Just speechless 😶.... such a blessed sermon. I am 22 y/o but still these teachings are like diamond. All glory to God alone in Jesus name Amen 🙌✝️🙌
God took me today to listen to this sermon! That was exactly what I needed to hear. Ligonier Ministries has been a great blessing to us here in Brazil.
Lindo!
RC Sproul was a true legend. A great Apostle of God. Never missed any of his teachings.
I need to hear this. God’s timing is always perfect 💯💯🙏
What a timely message. I will never overcome fear, but I can accept God's grace daily, which will help me live in peace while going through hardships. Lord, take my thoughts captive and let me focus on you and your promise. Give me wisdom and endurance to run the race.
I think most people struggle with anxiety in their lives, and it is often difficult to deal with it, however, the words of Jesus encourage us to walk by faith, not by sight, putting our complete trust in the Lord. This should be something we need to remember and incorporate into our attitude. Saved by grace, redeemed by the Lord, our sins forgiven, our lives transformed.....etch this into your minds. God bless.
RC is one of my favourites. Heaven got something special the day that this man passed. See you one day RC !
Ah, Yes, see you ONE FINE DAY!!
Dont talk to the dead. RC cannot hear you, dont pray to him.
how can 22 people dislike this great presentation of the Word of God? thanks God He knows we are fearful and because he knows that he gives us courage and plenty of reasons to NOT be afraid
Colossians 3:12, 14-15
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Yes, He is a gracious and compassionate Father. Oh! To Be like Him! Ever Ready to Hear and Help!
What IS man that THOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM!!!
I just stumbled upon R C Sproul a few short years ago and he explains the gospel in such a way that it's easy to understand. He's by far the most dedicated, educated and funny pastor/theologian I've ever seen. I am so thankful that I found him.Praise be to you Lord Jesus Christ!
I find it absolutely amazing that questions i ask my self daily or question my daily problems. And i always get an answer later when i either read the Bible or watch RC or MacArthur. It strengthens me to see God answers in real ways.
So glad these are on TH-cam
God bless you!
We miss Sproul.
From Brazil !
I can't get enough of this man's teaching, he definitely was gifted by God in speaking the truth of God's word
Matthew 7:24-25
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Life changing teaching. I dont know how I got here . BUT GOD I thank you.
Praise my personal Savior sweet Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and for this remarkable amazing, wonderfully uplifting, encouraging message that He knows I needed to hear and meditate on one of my favorite verse :
2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
as a divorced, single mother(depression, mild anxiety, PTSD, bipolar) of 3 special needs children ranging from 16 years old son with ADHD, 12 years old daughter with Dyslexia, and a 6 years old son with Autism.
A prayer for our family is very much appreciated for the Lord had tested me and I'm not proud to say but I had failed Him more than I can count yet He never fail keeping His promises in sustaining us even the most challenging, heartbreaking times of our lives. Thank you in advance and may the good Lord continues to tremendously bless your ministry in planting and watering these seeds so that one day it will bear fruit...like it did with me today.
I have prayed for you beloved sister. Remember that the trials and the suffering can not be compared to the glory that will be revealed in them that love Jesus, may God be with your whole household. I didn't know what to pray for specifically but I've asked the Lord to give you the sight and faith to know that He's with you through all that can ever come your way. Be blessed
Be blessed. Prayers for you.
Amen
Something I've personally learned over the years is that there are times in our life when we feel like we are in some sort of trouble or a bad situation that no good can come from it. God sees into the future so far that we cannot possibly imagine. If we let Him, none of our troubles or tough times are wasted. Dont worry!
God doesn't see into the future, He's not a fortune teller or an accurate predictor of coming events. God created the future. He holds all of time in His eternal hands.
I was struck by an SUV, back in 2018. I was always afraid of Elevators, but I still rode them. However, since then, I will not step into one, without someone being in there with me. My Doctor said, that is because I am afraid of not being able to escape, if I were to ever get stuck. Just like I wasn't able to escape, being hit by the SUV. I think often of facing my fear and to just try it, by myself. However, when it comes time to actually do it, the fear overwhelms me. Please pray for me. May God bless, all of you!
Amen and amen!,! Leave our tomorrow in the hands of our God!!
Thank you Ligonier Ministries. Great teaching. My favorite has been his teaching on the Holiness of God. I still have the VCR tapes. lol
I got him on CD!😇🤣
I love how he ended this and must have listened to it at least ten times now!
.._"the fears, the apprehensions that keep us from living for God"
Just perfect!!_
Love it. Ligonier has blessed my life so much. Thank God for R.C. Sproul.
Jeremiah 16:16-17
Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
R.C. Sproul is one of the few that aren't false teachers. I miss you R.C.
God grace is sufficient. I have experience lots of anxiety. But slowly after listening to his faithful people like Rc sproul, john MacArthur, steve lawson, paul washer, voddie, justin peter and Susan i have the courage and shown me the right path. God has enriched me with his true words and blessed me more and more. Glory to him 🙏🙏
Yes yes and Amen 🙏
Amen. To God be the Glory!
Beautiful and encouraging message by our beloved brother Sproul in heaven
I have this saved to my downloads and it’s been really helpful every time I teach a new term!
Excellent, thanks for posting. I miss R.C.
I LOVE R.C."s lectures, I have listened to dozens of hours. his intellect and capacity to think so profoundly has enabled me to also ,albeit on a lesser degree.
Thank you God for R. C. Sproul and his name written in the heavens.
Return, O my soul, to your rest;
for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
Psalm 116:7
We need to be conscious of the dealings of God with us. I need it.
I will pray.
Amen Sproul. We tend to get too anxious about everything, we just need to let it go and trust in The Lord. If Christ is with us than who can be agianst us, there is no reason to fear, let our hearts not be restless. God bless you all.
That very last part about courage was SO good!! I felt God use that to soothe me and comfort me! Courage requires fear because its doing what youre afraid of! O give us courage Lord!
This is such a good teaching...so many good nuggets of wisdom for everyday life; spiritually potent.
This was a very encouraging message. Thank you for this biblical content. Thank you, Jesus! 🙏 🙌
What a great man of God, this Lecture is a huge blessing for everyone. Thank you very much for sharing it. God bless you!!!
Proverbs 24:19-20
Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
I needed to hear this message like no tomorrow. Thank you pastor. Until we meet again, R.I.P. RC
This video is exactly what I needed right now.
I still find some of his sermons here and there that I haven’t yet watched. But at some point, I’ll have watched all that are on TH-cam and that will be the end. He was a great teacher and I selfishly wish he was still here teaching.
My God; the God of the Bible used this brother to Root and ground me in the biblical Gospel!!l
RC Sproul helps me in my spiritual walk by reading some of his books and listening to his expository preachings and talks. Praise and talk God for Faithful man like RC Sproul. To God be all the Glory!!
God Bless RC!
Thank you for these encouraging words.
I feel so blessed to sit under this teaching
Amen thanks God it helps me a lot not to worry .God cares about tomorrow .Thank you so much for sharing this video.
The LORD bless you

He has such a peaceful and Godly spirit.
Thanks R. C. Sproul 4 This Powerful, Blessed Sermon on "How 2 Deal With Anxiety" *4 I Have Been Blessed So Very, Veryyyyyyy Much Where Apostle Paul Tells Us In 2nd Timothy 1:7 That We Haven't Been Given a Spirit of Fear: But of Power, and of Love, and of Sound Mind Written In 2nd Timothy 1:7 4 The Reason Our Great Lord Jesus Christ When He Preached On The Sermon on The Mount In Matthew **6:25**-34 Says We Shouldn't Be Worried of What 2 Drunk or 2 Eat or 2 Wear 4 We Shouldn't Be Anxious 4 Nothing But Thru Prayers & Supplications With Thanksgiving, Let Our Requests Be Made Known 2 God Written In Philippians 4:6* 4 Thanks R. C. Sproul 4 Yu are Missed So Very Much.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
I thank God for his Providence,in bring me into contact with his great servants in R.C Sproul and John MacArthur , thankyou Lord Jesus.
It’s not so much that I don’t believe God will do what He Promises but I’m afraid He will and I find myself not liking that and fearful He will hold me accountable and remove what He has already given to me.
So in fear, I find myself running into the waters of Christ, the Goodness of God and I’m reminded of His Kindness in the past.
In these moments I find He is enough and my worries about losing all things for Him becomes ok. In the morning I find Joy, Peace and Love at my beside waiting to walk with me through that day.
I've been dealing with anxiety lately and this just helped me. Thank you for this message, I was truly blessed!!
He's down to earth. He's my favourite.
Amazing, great teaching
I feel like he is my grandpa. I love him like one thanks be too God.
I deal with anxiety by examining the cause and resolving it.
.......and if it's beyond your ability to resolve it you......?
I needed this, thanks and may GOD bless you and your team.
Fascinating that he had a fear of public speaking yet he was brilliant at it.
What an excellent lesson.
Great pice by Ligonier Minstries: Love this: "Men have TWICE as many Nightmares
as do Women."
(the expectation of the man as provider/protector)
-the pressure.
-our late father ROUTINELY-snapped from it - AND (sadly) he was mentally-ill
going IN. (from the outset).
.
"Great Piece by R.C. and Ligonier Ministries."
Excellent teaching
Thank you RC, miss you
Es como que cada vez que sentimos temor por algo podemos recurrir al Padre y decirle que tense la cuerda para recordarnos que El nos protege y nos sostiene seguros porque estamos unidos a la cuerda con un anclaje que no se rompe.
Great servant of God who is resting in the Lord's presence. Hallelujah
miss him. God Bless
Thank you Jesus!
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
This message was very practical and helpful. Not only did Jesus say in this world, we would have trouble but that He has overcome not only our fear but the WORLD. In the last days, stressful times will come, so we better trust Christ Jesus right now where we are at.❤
Thank you so much R.C I have a friend who suffers from this how I wish I help her get over this
My anxiety attacks are the horrors of hell on earth. Pray for me. I just got woke up with my whole body in a violent way. I do not know how to fight this.
Great word.
Praise GOD🙌👍👍
AMAZING Message! 👏
Wao. This is so iluminating. Thanks God for this message.
Thank you
Thank you RC, great teaching.
So good. Amen
Yes. It helped me today..
When RC past on to glory, I felt like I lost a dear friend. A friend I never met in person.
That common fear of man being anxious about not being able to provide for his loved ones is true for me. Though I’m not married, nor do I have kids, neither do I want that, I feel an obligation to be the provider of my parents.
God bless. Great message
Thankyou RC, We all miss you brother ..
Powerful!!! Amen!
Courage exists for those who have fear" and "to encourage one another literally is to help one another find courage". Not verbatim quotes but I hoped this would help someone else
It has me as well
100 th comment which is appropriate because R.C. was a perfect 100 when teaching the word.
