Trust me....Having the peace or sprit of God and just sitting around isn't enough.. either you're studying your bible, reading a book, being social, watching a movie etc.. my point is be doing other good things that will take your mind away from worrying... Spend good time with family etc...
Ok I already said don't be idle. Sitting around idle dwelling on your anxiety or fears is a sure way to make them grow.
Well I think the author's point is that God is no magician . It's like having an exam coming up in a week and you're not preparing for it saying God is by you and you'll come out in excellence.. I think the author is saying that it's not enough to have the spirit of God.. keep yourself, your mind busy..i.e spend quality time with family, studying the Bible, watching movies, being social.. the author also talked about being social and our Health... You'll find that

I didn't read that article. I don't want have to download and install anything. So that's amedical based article? Medical mumbo jumbo. Don't even read that crap. Instead spend your time reading the word of God.
Colossians 3:2-17
3
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. 3 For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 And when Christ, who is your[
a] life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
5 So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. 6 Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming.[
b] 7 You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. 8 But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. 9 Don’t lie to each other,
for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. 10 Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. 11 In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile,[
c] circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized,[
d] slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.
12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
16 Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. 17 And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.../NLT
Look at verse 14 my friend. Clothe yourself with Love. That's not a suggestion, it's a commandment.
Fear & Anxiety are pretty much anti-Love.
Somehow you give me the impression that you're talking to yourself and just wanting more input to consider?
Okay, I'll provide some until you tell me to shut up, lol.
Choose wisely the medical stuff that you allow yourself to read. They are big business, they need customers. Their articles and papers will talk you into believing that you have a problem and need them. Oh yes, they have a pill for you. But there will have to be followups so you became a patient now! It's gobbldygook friend. Trying to drum up new business. Do you want to be able to fathom truth in this world? Then put your attention and focus on God. Read the Word, not that crap! Think about God, and Heaven, and Love These are the things to dwell on.
