Battlefield of the Mind Chap 12

Hello there!

Anyone at Bible Study group is welcome to jump in the series of swaps for this study -

This is a study on the book of "Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer. Please read chapter 12 (An Anxious and Worried Mind). The next few chapters are getting longer, so I'm reducing it to one chapter per swap for now. If they shorten up then I will put them together again. I don't want us to have too much to read and answer in one week. Read the scripture below before answering questions:
