[Observer]

I'm severely anxious all the time. If I stop worrying about one thing, it switches to another thing, and I need a break because I feel like I'm going to explode. I just can't stop thinking about all these things. I've been praying to God about it because I think it's satan, but so far, I'm still the same. I feel selfish for posting here, because I'm not dying or anything... but this is just eating at me and building up and up and up and I don't know how much longer I can take. I don't feel like I have the energy to live like this forever. I feel like I'm running on near empty already, but it just keeps going and going. It's affecting the people I care about... I have so many wonderful things in my life, but I feel like everything is crumbling away and that I'm gradually losing everything because of this constant stress/anxiety. I don't know whether to pray for it to ease off, or to pray that I WILL explode so that it will just end... I guess that's up to God... I just feel alone like he's not there, because I've been praying about this every day and I still feel this way, I don't understand what my mind's doing to me.

I've prayed for everyone that has posted in this forum... I hope it helps

Observer, first of all, happy birthday happybirthday to you.

I remember a time where my anxiety was so high, I couldn't sleep at night, and that made it worse. Some of my triggers were fear, caffeine, not breathing deep, allergies, not seeing ways of out situations and cycling them in my head all night. The harder I tried to move forward, the further I fell behind.

One thing that knocked it out of cycle was realizing that anxiety feeds cancer -> Doctor visits and surgery cost money -> Money comes from working -> I can work better if I sleep -> I need to relax in order to sleep.

Too simplistic. I have slowed down my mind and pace over time, though.

You mentioned satanic attacks. That could be in the mix, too. Evil spirits harass us all, tending to appear more at pivotal times. The solution for this is too simple: just say no. "Resist the devil, and he will flee." In a case of persistent distress like yours, you'd want to confront them directly. Say out loud, "In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you to leave me alone and never return." Find some good Bible verses and read these out loud to back you up with what God has promised for you.

The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. (from Phil. 4:7)

My God will meet all my needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19)

I will call upon God, and He will answer me; He will be with me in trouble, He will deliver me and honor me. (from Psalm 91:15)
​

At the time, I heard Frank Hultgren on the radio and ordered his book. Taking on authority in the spirit made a HUGE difference in my life. I haven't seen anything of his since.

Another thing I did-- I stopped replaying past hurts and injustices in my head. They had anchored themselves to the point of being as canned as a film; I realized that I was just watching the same boring movie over and over and not finding any new solutions. In a sense, it's forgiveness, to choose to let go. Some people call it denial, but I have come to love moving on.

Lord, bring your complete peace to observer. Your perfect love casts out all fear. Show her what's causing the discomfort, fill her with the Holy Spirit's wisdom and power and light. Drive away all enemies, both spiritual and natural. Be her shield and defender. Show her what is keeping Your ways from operating as they should. Incorporate her into your vine branching, with your living sap flowing through her and strengthening her more each day.

This is tought to go thru especially since your b-day will here soon. But I know God is ALLOWING this to happen for some reason. you have two options 1) you are doing things right and God is allowing this to happen to strengthen you and for you to Glorify Him 2) your doing something wrong and God is trying to get your attention to change that. It might be something specific or it might be something very broad like the whole focus of your life is on the wrong things.

No matter what the case is you must keep praying and reading his word (there are other things you should do as well but I will get to them later.)

It seems that it might be the second since you dont feel God. In this case you need to try to find out whats wrong. It might be that the thing or things you doing with your life is not what God wants you to do, even if its ministry. God always wants you to have enougth time with him all the time (that is where prayer and reading his word comes in). But after that God wants to use you with people or not. with people is talking to people and helping them out with their tuff situations. and without peeps you can be used by God by doing some kind of church service as cleaning, cutting the grass, vacuuming and other stuff like that.
You must remeber that no matter what you do you must do it to GOd. You will end up getting frustrated no matter what you do if you do things for other people. People will always keep demanding more from you. God in the other hand like who you are (personality) and what you to give him attention. God will at the same time change you (behaviour) into a more Godly person.

It can also be something specific that you must try to find out what it is. Repent and tell God that your sorry for that.

I hope this helps.

I'll be praying for you and your peace... I too struggle with anxiety on a daily basis, it's hard..... Remember that the Lord IS with you during this... He wants us to depend on Him.... I never thought I would thank the Lord for my anxiety attacks and all the struggles I've gone through, However I have.... This has brought me closer in my faith and I've become a stronger person because of it... It is still hard for me, don't get me wrong, but for whatever reason "we" have to carry this burden.... keep talking about if because it does help... If you ever need to "talk" just send me an email or post a message.... God Bless you, Angie

May the Lord lift you from anxiety and give you peace; may you have courage, strength and insight; may you have healing and comfort, may many people of support be guided to your path. INJC

Lord, power and glory be to Your name. Father, be with Your daughter today, and everyday, until eternity, and even then. God, may she learn to trust in You more, that she will overcome this stress and everything. May she learn taht You are always with her, even though it doesn't seem like You are. Even our sin can't separate us from Your love for Your children. So, God, teach her what You taught Jeremaiah when he was depressed about the persecution against him. Father, keep her in Your heart. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
