Continuation:

Previously, we discussed that in confronting anxiety attacks,you should ventilate to God at the place of prayers:

2- Cast out the spirit influencing  anxiety and related evils to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ. 

a- Affirm that “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7) Therefore, the peace of God like a sentinel guards your mind.

3.- Speak to yourself as the Psalmist  did in Psalm 42:11 saying;

“Why am I discouraged? Why am I restless? I trust you, Lord! And I will praise you again because you help me, and you are my God.” (Psalms 42:11 CEV)

4. Stop worrying about Tomorrow (Matthew 6:34)

a.- UnLearn the bad habit of creating possible problems in your mind.

b. Confront issues daily as they arise and stop trying to solve future problems that might not arise.

5.- When fear of the future cloud your mind, remind yourself that God the Source of your protection, provision, and your ever Present helper-

a.- Boldly Declare:

“The LORD is my solid rock, my fortress, my rescuer. My God is my rock— I take refuge in him!— he’s my shield, my salvation’s strength, my place of safety. (Psalms 18:2 CEB)

6. When feelings of hopelessness try to overwhelm You, encourage yourself in the faithfulness of God.  

a.- Remind yourself of how God helped you in the past. 

b.- Just remember that God did not bring you this far to abandon you. He will perfect  all that concerns you.

As you meditate on God’s trustworthiness, your faith will be built up and hope will well up in you, and anxiety will be defeated. 

7. Pray in the spirit and pray positively with understanding as well. (Jude 21, Philippians 4:6-7

8. Be joyful in whatever situation you are in.

The Apostle Paul faced discouragement, imprisonment, desertion by friends, and even suffered physical trauma, and the prospect of execution. 

And yet against all these odds he was in an incredibly joyful mood when he wrote the epistles. 

Likewise, you can overcome anxiety when you have an attitude of gratitude. 

 Prayer:

I pray that you are strengthened in your inner man and that all the fears in your heart disappear. And faith will grow in you so that you will become full of joy in whatever circumstances you are facing, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
