I never thought I would be the type of person who post personal thoughts on the internet but then I realized there are alot of hurting people out there who may be going thru the same thing I am and need some encouraging words.
My first blog post is going to be about something that is difficult to understand if you have never personally experienced it.
Anxiety and panic attacks
The kind that hit you in the middle of the night, in the middle of the grocery store, while you are at work, driving down the road, fixing dinner. The kind that you have no idea why its happening.
Your heart start to race and your stomach to churn. Your mind starts to race in random patterns. Not making sense at all. You feel you are going to go crazy. You fill like you need to run or get away. But to where?
All you can do is cry Jesus help me!
You race to the cupboard to get the lil pills the Dr gave you to help calm you in a hurry. Then if you are lucky its over. Or maybe the little anxiety monster will try tagging you the rest of the day, lurking in the back of your mind, getting ready to pounce.
If you have ever felt this way, you aren't alone. I am going into my 6th year of battling anxiety attacks.
But I decided today I am done. Today is the day I am set free. You say wow why didn't you do it earlier. Well I had, but I let my guard down. I didn't keep my shield up.
The Bible says For God did not give you a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind. So if he gave me a sound mind that means I am not going crazy and if he did not give me a spirit of fear that means the devil is responsible for this confusion. And I need to take authority over this.
He has NO RIGHT to do this to me. I am under the blood. Jesus died on that cross to free me from the bondages of his world and by his stripes I was healed.
I WAS HEALED - what a concept - not that I will be healed, or could be healed. But back before I was even born He HEALED ME!!!
My life was so precious to him before I even drew my first breath that he chose to die on that cross.
I am not to live in fear. Even when that fear hits me like a mack truck and knocks me off my feet and I am not even sure what I am fearing I need to use every thing in me to resist and rebuke the devil and his mind games.
Jesus has already won the battle for me. We are wagging war against a deafeated foe and he needs to be reminded to back off, that Jesus is the victor.
Plead the blood, plead the blood, plead the blood that the most impotant thing. And I let my guard down and stopped doing that. The blood is so important, don't take it lightly. Every precious drop that was shed was shed for a purpose and we must use it in the most honoring way. It is a very powerful weapon. You need protection? Then you cover it in the blood.
We are fighting a war, a war for our families, our health, our safety, our churches. But take heart! The war has already been won. Know you have the victory.
God Bless you today. I pray for your health, safety and peace today.

I would get them on airplanes,particularly if I had to run to catch one. Then I would get them just thinking about flying...and I fly a lot...every week. Over the years I have figured that if I stay a way from chocolate, and run, They would be minimal.
In times of stress, I would just run more.One year when my company had no idea if they would survive and eventually got sold to another company...I ran a marathon.
I also began to write my thoughts on paper to God, just a conversation where I poured out my fears on paper and just offered them up to God to take care of them.

I too struggle with anxiety. You were healed and it's true you can't let you guard down for nething. The bible says in Isiah- that we shall fly on wings like eagles and that we shall run and not grow faint. Run and never look back.

Love your post! Yes, it's true, there is healing and deliverance in Jesus' name!.....I have experienced it many times in my 50+ years! (Several of my Nov. posts show examples of God's grace and mercy!)
His Word says, "....by His stripes, we are healed.". Belief and faith in Jesus and the power of His name is a necessity....."And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief." (Matthew 13:58)
Hold fast to Jesus.....we often fail Him, but, He will never leave or forsake us. Blessings to you! :)
