Struggling with anxiety

[jimmysmith]

Hey everyone, I’m really struggling with anxiety lately. I just can't seem to shake this feeling of worry, and it’s really overwhelming. I know I should trust in God more, but it's just so hard right now. Does anyone have any advice or resources that might help me find some peace?

Take a hard look at what is worrying you, is it particular things or just a general anxiety?
How realistic are your fears? What can you do about those concerns?

Is there anyone you can ta.k to about your anxities?

If these don't help it's seek medical help from therapy and medication to calm your mind.
( if your anxieties are causing sleeplessness you will need medication to enable you to get on top of your anxiety and so that counselling/therapy can help you cope )

I can only say what the bible says which is:-
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6

Obviously that's easier said than done. Does your worry come from fear? I don't know what else to say really except that I'll pray for you. There is also this verse in the bible:
“Be still, and know that I am God; Psalm 46:10

And once God said to me in a time of distress, 'Just be and let Me' and that took all the pressure off/

There also many places where we are told that God is in control but my favourite, which has helped me many times is this one:

2 Chronicles 20:14-17​

Then the Spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel son of Zechariah, . . . as he stood in the assembly.
He said: “Listen, . . . . . This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow march down against them. . . . . . You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, . . . . . . . Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’”

You're under attack. That should come as no surprise. Put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (that spirit is not of God i.e. it is one of Satan's). Read the whole of Isaiah chapter 61 (only 11 verses).

Try meditating on some comforting verses from God's Word the Bible. That is, mull the verses over... don't just read in a hurry. When anxiety comes, remember those verses. It's your sword of the Spirit, the Word of God.

You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you!​

Matthew 6:25-34 (NKJV)
25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

Two things came to mind as I read your post. One of them you mentioned yourself - faith. I think faith is a big part of it.

And another very important thing: obedience. When we don't obey the Lord's commandments, it becomes a lot harder not to worry.

These are the two things I would look at first.

yes easier said, what I did is I have stopped to watch the news what a blessing that is! also I have learned to trust GOD.
Jesus said to follow him is not an easy path it takes persistence and time.

Blessings.
