The #scripturesong of the week is Psalm‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭ESV‬‬:

“In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”

I have personally struggled with anxiety and panic attacks since my junior year of high school….Although I’ve come a long way in overcoming them since then, there are still days when they pay me a visit.

Last night before bed I started to feel panicky and I didn’t even know why. It’s hard to explain, but that’s just how it goes sometimes. For those of you who can relate, you understand that it’s truly a fight to stay calm.

So, what do I do when fear attempts to get a grip on me? I fix my eyes on the Prince of Peace, the Comforter, and the Healer. I call out for help and stand on the promises in the Bible (Philippians 4:6-7; John 16:33; Isaiah 26:3; John 14:27; 2 Timothy 1:7).

Jesus is the one and only remedy. Fear has to leave when I say his name. And I can confidently say that he gets me through these anxious feelings every single time.

If any of you also struggle with anxiety, fear, or panic, I encourage you to memorize this verse and declare it out loud when you start feeling anxious or afraid. Never forget the Word is a weapon. ❤️
