Is Anxiety Taking You Down?

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams - BV 581856

One of my precious kiddos has been battling with anxiety for the past several weeks.  For the most part, the anxiety has been a morning thing, and some mornings are worse than others.  It is so hard as a mom to watch your children go through a difficult period and not be able to help.

God knows our frame; He understands our weaknesses. So His Word speaks to us about anxiety and fear.  God is good to give us not only His Word but Himself as well. He is available 24/7 for us.

But God realizes sometimes we need someone to relate to--someone who has walked in our shoes, who has been where we've been and come through ok on the other end.  I am SO thankful for the timely message (actually a series of messages) by Louie Giglio that our family listened to via the internet.  During the message, Louie discusses his own personal struggles with anxiety.  It was SO good for my child to hear "You are not alone, and there is hope."  Click here to hear the messages dated 10/14/12, 10/21/12, and 10/28/12.

Whether you yourself are struggling with anxiety or know someone who is, I highly encourage you to check out these sermons!!

 

I Peter 5:7 "Casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you."

Psalm 34:4-5  "I sought the LORD, and He answered me; and delivered me from all my fears.  They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed."

Isaiah 41:10 "Do not fear, for I am with you;  Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."

Psalm 42:5  "Why are you in despair, O my soul?  And why have you become disturbed within me?  Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence."

It is hard to watch your children dealing with anxiety and feeling unable to help.  I have only watche about 15 minutes of the video by Louie Giglio and can see why you were happy to find him.  Going to watch the rest.  Thanks for the link.

There's a whole lot of anxiety in my family tree.  I ended up in therapy years ago after my first panic attack.  I had no idea what was happening to me.   I was given a book, Don't Panic, written by R. Reid Wilson and it was so helpful that I have recommended it to many people.  Check it out, it could help your daughter!

Sonja~I hope that the situation is getting better. Depression (which may be a component of anxiety) can run in families, but it's important for everyone to know that medication may be needed.

My daugher got migraines broke on by stress. I know how you feel. We worked for 3 years, and finally have them under control. I hope you continue to progress with your daughter's issues. My thoughts are with you.
