Nervous Breakthrough: Finding Freedom From Fear and Anxiety in a World That Feeds It.নমুনা

I clearly remember the day when I blocked a panic attack for the first time instead of dodging it. It felt remarkable to stop the fear before it stopped me. What did I do? I stopped trying to control the situation and let God be God. Psalm 46:10 famously says, “Be still, and know that I am God” (NIV). This scripture calls us to stop striving and let God fight on our behalf, to rest in him and surrender. Being still is not a passive approach; it’s the best approach possible. Too often, we strive to solve a problem with our strength when God already has the answers. Being still and knowing means to admit that you are not God and to submit to and trust in the God of the universe who is all-knowing, powerful, and ever-present in times of trouble. Realizing that I need to fully trust God has been one of the most important factors in overcoming my fear and anxiety.

Learning to stop panic and anxiety has taken years of practice and discipline, but now I know it is possible. I’m living proof of it. I’m happy to report my panic attacks are few and far between. The label of severe panic and anxiety disorder is now in the past.

I want that for you too, friend. Here are five ready statements to proclaim loud and proud. Get up and fight: you are learning to fear less.

• I will not fail; God is within me. (Adapted from Psalm 46:5)
• I declare this about the Lord: he alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. (Adapted from Psalm 91:2)
• I am valuable. (Adapted from Luke 12:7)
• I am forgiven. (Adapted from Psalm 103:10–12)
• I will love you, Lord, with all my heart, soul, and mind. (Adapted from Matthew 22:37)

God has a clear destiny for you, and it’s not a life disrupted by continual fear and annoying anxiety. I declare that the fullness of God’s love is activated in your life—the pressure is lifted. You are no longer a slave to fear. As a child of the holy king, God has called you to be unafraid. The cross makes you fearless. Now walk in that freedom.

We hope this plan brought you more peace and less fear. Learn more about Nervous Breakthrough by Christy Boulware here
