“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

Ephesians 6:12

 The rabble with them began to 

crave other food, and again the 

Israelites started wailing and 

said, “If only we had meat to 

eat! We remember the fish we 

ate in Egypt at no cost—also the 

cucumbers, melons, leeks, 

onions and garlic. But now we 

have lost our appetite; we never 

see anything but this manna!” 

Page 4: Mpc foundations overcoming anxiety 9.12.15

Moses heard the people of every 

family wailing, each at the 

entrance to his tent. The LORD 

became exceedingly angry, and 

Moses was troubled.  He asked 

the LORD, “Why have you brought 

this trouble on your servant? 

What have I done to displease 

you that you put the burden of all 

these people on me? 

Page 5: Mpc foundations overcoming anxiety 9.12.15

Did I conceive all these people? Did I 

give them birth? Why do you tell me 

to carry them in my arms, as a nurse 

carries an infant, to the land you 

promised on oath to their 

forefathers?  Where can I get meat 

for all these people? They keep 

wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’  I 

cannot carry all these people by 

myself; the burden is too heavy for 

me. 

Page 6: Mpc foundations overcoming anxiety 9.12.15

If this is how you are going to 

treat me, put me to death 

right now—if I have found 

favor in your eyes—and do 

not let me face my own ruin.” 

Page 7: Mpc foundations overcoming anxiety 9.12.15

The LORD said to Moses: “Bring 

me seventy of Israel’s elders who 

are known to you as leaders and 

officials among the people. Have 

them come to the Tent of 

Meeting, that they may stand 

there with you. 

Page 8: Mpc foundations overcoming anxiety 9.12.15

I will come down and speak with 

you there, and I will take of the 

Spirit that is on you and put the 

Spirit on them. They will help you 

carry the burden of the people so 

that you will not have to carry it.

Page 9: Mpc foundations overcoming anxiety 9.12.15

“Tell the people: ‘Consecrate 

yourselves in preparation for 

tomorrow, when you will eat 

meat. The LORD heard you when 

you wailed, “If only we had meat 

to eat! We were better off in 

Egypt!” Now the LORD will give 

you meat, and you will eat it.  

Page 10: Mpc foundations overcoming anxiety 9.12.15

You will not eat it for just one day, 

or two days, or five, ten or twenty 

days, But for a whole month—

until it comes out of your nostrils 

and you loathe it—because you 

have rejected the LORD, who is 

among you, and have wailed 

before him, saying, “Why did we

ever leave Egypt?”Numbers 11:4-6, 10-20

“In my twenty-seventh year, while riding the metro in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) I was overcome with a despair so great that life seemed to stop at once, preempting the future entirely, let alone any meaning.

Suddenly, all by itself, a phrase astonished:‘Without God life makes no sense.’Repeating it in astonishment, I rode the phrase up like a moving staircase, got out of the metro and walked into God's light.“
