Why would this happen?

[aangel]

So to help myself feel better I was singing Worthy is the Lamb and it was actually helping my mood. I was feeling pretty great and then randomly I had panic attack. I've had panic attacks before but still.

I pray that God will ease your anxiety and grant you His peace.

 

[BookofMatt]

Anxiety and panic attacks can sometimes come on with absolutely no warning. Most of the time, there's something which triggers it, and sometimes you don't even realize that something triggered it. My moods can sometimes turn on a dime like that, too...try thinking about what was happening right when you started having it; maybe there was a particular something which triggered it and work on how you can deal with it.

 

[Jeshu]

Yeah that is how it often goes inside of me as well - I rejoice in The Lord and then get attacked by feelings which do not want do that. Please remember fear will be cast out, so grow in your life of joy and praise, but try to minimise time in or with fear, though I know it cannot always be prevented.

I found that when I fall for fear I don't trust The Lord any more nor listen to what He says, its been one of my biggest battles.

Fear Holds Fast
Fear grabs hold with iron grip
the evil quick confusion sowing
birthing terrorising conditions
harvesting my faithless heart.

My doubt and unbelief peaking
hopes and dreams going up in flames
my goals a catastrophe unfolding
earthquakes shattering my defence.

Feel that loveless grip ramming
cruel enemies rejoicing victory
running through my broken gates
watching the raging fires burning.

A mess in my dwelling place
hair raising shadows casting
fears fuelling my insecurities
shamefully exposing weakness.

My Good life plundering
those torches of darkness
roasting me for dinner
serving the wicked feasting.

Hi there; I hope you'll be feeling okay.

I love that song, Worthy is the lamb, quoted from Revelation chapter 5.

Blessings.

I have panic attacks as well. I sometimes wake up at night, or in the morning with panic attacks, and even in the day time they can come without warning. I have lived with them for many years now. I refuse to acknowledge them though, and i will not let them control my thinking. Sure they do seem to control me when im in their grip but when the attack subsides and goes away, then there is no reason to condemn myself. If i condemn myself then the attack will continue to do me harm long after it ceases. It will be like a prison of condemnation. Everyone has fear and no one is fearless. Under the right circumstances everyone can experience fear. There are many examples in the scriptures where godly men and woman have had fear, but God didn't condemn them, he told them instead to fear not. That is Gods love speaking to them. So when your panic attack subsides i would encourage you to not condemn yourself for it, but just accept it as a weakness that Gods grace can and will sustain. That is faith. I am weak but he is strong. Its not wrong to fear, but i cannot let it steer me away from faith in the Lord. I have faith that he is merciful and so he will not condemn me.

Look at David, he experienced fear but he put his trust in the Lord in the midst of it. WE can too, all we must do is accept our weakness and trust in Gods mercy.

Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise—

Look at Paul, he had many distresses and weaknesses. But Gods grace was sufficiant for him.

2 Corinthians 12:8 Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast [a]about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
