Dealing with Anxiety

“Dealing with Anxiety.”

Greetings! Philippians 4:6-8 (NIV version) reads “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.” Such truth stated here by the Apostle Paul himself! This scripture right here is speaking of how we are to deal with anxiety in this world we live in today. It’s instructing us to pray and then to meditate on good things which will help to calm us down.

So many of us (myself included) struggle and deal with anxiety. A lot of it I believe is also passed on through both spiritually and biologically along with the current cares and situations that we are bombarded with daily. I myself struggle with both anxiety and SAD which is seasonal affective disorder also known as seasonal depression. I deal with it through prayer, medication and counseling and it does help and I press through daily with the help of God/Jesus and my family and support group of friends. I’ve come to the realization a time ago that it is nothing to be ashamed of but something that I’m learning to deal with and will be delivered from with God/Jesus help one day!

So with all that being said if you are struggling with anxiety please don’t hesitate to seek help, counseling and proper medication (if necessary) and exercise. Also prayer and meditation works (for me as a believer and disciple in Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit leads me and guides me daily). Together with the Lord Jesus help we can overcome our daily struggles with anxiety and depression and move forward! So let’s all be encouraged and do this together dealing and facing and conquering our anxieties!! Peace ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 and love ❤️!!
