Have you ever had a panic attack?

Felt the room closing in.
Your heart pounding wildly.
Your throat closing up, like you can breathe.

You couldn’t focus on anything else but the thing that was causing you to panic.

A fear of such immense proportion that afterward you felt all wrung out for days, and half the time you realized later that the thing that sent your entire body into fight or flight was blown out of proportion, but you were helpless to do anything about it.

I’ve been there – many times. It’s a horrible place to be.

I’ve talked a lot about my battle with anxiety here at A Little R & R, in my newsletter, and on social media; how I’ve taken it to my war room, battled against it, and begun to overcome it.

One of the ways I’ve begun to overcome anxiety is by meditating on Scripture.

All throughout the Bible we read that we don’t need to fear, why we don’t need to fear, and how we can overcome fear.

God must have known that mankind would struggle with fear, because He sure had a lot to say about it.

And this is precisely we have a war room!

10 Bible Verses to Fight Anxiety

The enemy is at war with us because he wants to fill our minds with “what if”. He’s very clever.

If we let him, he will take that “What if….”, find A-list actors, create a blockbuster movie, and play it over and over in our mind until we think it’s real.

It’s amazing the scenarios he’s played in my mind!

They have been very convincing. Funny thing, though – they never actually materialized. Ever.

We must battle for our minds because if we don’t we will be utterly consumed with worry, anxiety, fear, depression, isolation, and horrible, destructive thoughts that will lead us down some very dark paths.
