Hey there! Struggling with anxiety and don't know where to turn or how to find peace to move on? Well, you're not alone! In the middle of 2020, I got horrible anxiety. It got so bad that I was afraid to go to a friend's house or a party. I was nervous about the simplest things.
I was a happy, brave, fun, simple kid. I loved being silly and making friends, but when I started having anxiety, that all changed, and I wanted my old self back, I was sick of it!! And I bet you are too.
“ I cried out “ I’m slipping and your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me.” Psalms 94:18.
Here is a list of some things I started doing that helped me and will help you get your life back on track:
- Get deep into God's word and grow your relationship with Him ( Bible study, prayer, Bible in a year plan, etc.)
- Move your body ( walking, stretching, biking, jogging, etc.)
- Take time to hang out with family and friends.
- Limit your Social Media time and filter who you are following.
"Say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, and do not fear, for your God is coming to destroy your enemies. He is coming to save you." Isaiah 35:4
Did you know that the call not to fear shows up 366 times - one for every day, even in leap years? Now I know that it's not a coincidence we serve such an amazing God that He wants us to remember every day, never to fear.
So, when you feel the anxiety start to creep in, pray. Look to Jesus always. He is so so good, He is for you, with you, and He Loves you so very much.
"Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be Joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you." 2 Corinthians 13: 11
Note: if you are looking for a Bible in a year plan, check out The Bible recap! It is so good! And do not get down on yourself for not doing it every day; I sure don't. Do your best, and don't give up!!
