fear and anxiety

Published Jul. 6, 2008

FOUR STEPS TO DEAL WITH FEAR AND ANXIETY:

1. Identify the fear.   Ask your self, What are the circumstances surrounding my feelings? What triggered them ? What message am i telling myself?

2.  Turn to the lord. Remember that God loves you and desires an intiment relationship with you. He is in soveregin control of your situation,so bring your fear to Him.

3.  Rebuke the fear before God.  You have the authority and power in Jesus' name to reject what isn't from HIM. Meditate on passages such as Matthew 10:31  and Proverbs 1:33 Let God's truth replace any wrong thinking.

4.Cling to your heavenly Father.  Take your focus off your circumstances,and look to the One who promises His help.Scripture gives this assurance:' Do not fear, for Iam with you; do not anxiously look about,for I am your God.I will strengthen you, surely I will help you.Surley I will uphold you with My righteous right hand'' ( Isaiah 41:10

Meh, I think there is a big difference between irrational fear that we need to turn over to God and a chemical imbalance that causes the anxiety that I feel you are talking about. Medication is there for people who need it as well as the strength from God that can help if we will allow.

Not trying to be a wet blanket, Patsy. I just deal regularly with large numbers of people who suffer with anxiety and many of them are Christians who have tried just what you describe, and wind up feeling as though somehow they're not good enough Christians, when I'm certain that this is not the case.

Are you saying that God cures anxiety and panic?

I beg to differ.

I don't see any harm in giving it a try though. I'm sure that faith is a source of tremendous strength to many.

I figured you were kidding, but some folks might not have known I didn't mean anything by it.

How are you doing today? Hope you stay inside and keep cool.

No, Patsy, I wouldn't mind. It was an innocent comment.
