Encouraging Scriptures That Have Helped Me Through Anxiety Disorder Recovery

[Jordan1989]

"For the Lord God is our sun and our shield.
He gives us grace and glory.
The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.
O Lord of Heaven's Armies, what joy for those who trust in you."

Psalm 84:11-12

 

[Jordan1989]

Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety. --Proverbs 29:25

 

[brinny]

If you make the Lord your refuge,

if you make the Most High your shelter,
no evil will conquer you;
 no plague will come near your home.
For he will order his angels
 to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands
 so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.
You will trample upon lions and cobras;

you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.

I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer;

I will be with them in trouble.

I will rescue and honor them.
I will reward them with a long life
 and give them my salvation.” --Psalm 91:9-16

Thank you for posting these powerfully potent and precious verses.

You're very welcome. I hope God spoke to your heart through them and reminded you of his goodness. Thank you for your encouragement!

 

[Jordan1989]

The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

--Psalm 23

He surely did. May you be blessed just as you encourage and bless so many others, Jordan.

 

[Jordan1989]

Brinny, thank you so much for your encouragement! When I read your words and your above scripture, it felt like the Lord wrapped me in a hug and it gave me goosebumps! I really appreciate it!

 

[Jordan1989]

Today, I thought I would post a quote from A.W. Tozer's classic, The Pursuit of God. It's one of my favorite Christian books:

"The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One. Many ordinary treasures may be denied him, or if he is allowed to have them, the enjoyment of them will be so tempered that they will never be necessary to his happiness. Or if he must see them go, one after one, he will scarcely feel a sense of loss, for having the Source of all things he has in One all satisfaction, all pleasure, all delight. Whatever he may lose he has actually lost nothing, for he now has it all in One, and he has it purely, legitimately, and forever."

Awwwwww, He DID hug you, Jason!!! He LOVES to give hugs.

He also LOVES to do this when His children, such as yourself, delights in Him and His Word and blesses Him and brings a smile to His very heart:

"The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing." ~Zeph 3:17

"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33

 

[Jordan1989]

"From the depths of despair, O Lord, I call for your help.
Hear my cry, O Lord.
Pay attention to my prayer.

Lord, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive?
But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.

I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him.
I have put my hope in his word.
I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn."

Psalm 130:1-6

[Jordan1989]

Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my plea! Answer me because you are faithful and righteous.
Don't put your servant on trial,
for no one is innocent before you.
My enemy has chased me.
He has knocked me to the ground
and forces me to live in darkness like those in the grave.
I am losing all hope; I am paralyzed with fear. I remember the days of old.
I ponder all your great works and think about what you have done.
I lift my hands to you in prayer.
I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain.

Come quickly, Lord, and answer me,
for my depression deepens.
Don't turn away from me,
or I will die.
Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
for I give myself to you.
Rescue me from my enemies, Lord; I run to you to hide me.
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God.
May your gracious Spirit lead me forward
on a firm footing.
For the glory of your name, O Lord, preserve my life.
Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress.
In your unfailing love, silence all my enemies and destroy all my foes,
for I am your servant.

--Psalm 143
