Perhaps the best example of an unhelpful application of Scripture is to say
to your friend gripped by anxiety, \u201cWell, Philippians 4:6, \u2018Don\u2019t be anxious about anything.\u2019\u201d It certainly is true, yet not the most winsome or illuminating of exhortations; \u201cjust stop it.\u201d However, we are in no short supply of things to be anxious about. Listen to Pastor Brett's exhortation to be prompted towards repentance of your own fears and distrust.
