Have you ever had a panic attack?
- Felt the room closing in.
- Your heart pounding wildly.
- Your throat tightening, like you can’t breathe.
You couldn’t focus on anything but the source of your panic.
A fear so intense it overwhelms everything.
And afterward?
You’re completely drained for days.
And half the time, you later realize the thing that triggered it was blown out of proportion…
But in the moment, you were powerless.
I’ve been there many times. It’s a horrible place to be.
I’ve walked this battle for years.
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 why we have a war room. A place where we intentionally fight back… with truth.
Below, you’ll find 10 Bible verses that will help you fight anxiety and renew your mind with truth.
Plus, I’ve created a free printable you can keep nearby as a daily reminder of the power we have in Christ.
This printable will help you:
✔ Refocus your mind on God’s truth
✔ Replace old thought patterns with Scripture
✔ Find peace in the middle of overwhelming moments

He takes one ‘what if,’ builds a whole story around it, and replays it until it feels real.

- Anxiety
- Fear
- Depression
- Isolation
And horrible, destructive thoughts that will lead us down some very dark paths.
