Where Is Your Support Group? Feeling Anxious?

YOU NEED FRIENDS! 

The truth is anxiety comes in many different ways. Sometimes the anxiety we feel is the byproduct of thinking to ourselves, "I can't do this," or "I don't know what they will think," or maybe saying, "I'm not sure how this will end." Our mind is powerful and can quickly cause us to come up with unrealistic scenarios that only make matters worse. The key is to turn your thoughts towards heaven and talk to Jesus about it.

David dealt with anxiety a lot in the Bible. I mean, the guy spent several years running for his life and hiding in caves! He often wrote about his pain and problems, which in turn helped to change his thoughts and refocus them on God's protection. Look at one of the verses he wrote in Psalm 94:19 (NIV), "When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul." David knew where he could turn to find joy amid his situation. 

Along with consistent prayer; To combat anxiety you need a support team! It can be tough to navigate anxiety and find someone to talk to. Truthfully, some Christians and even pastors brush it off like it's no big deal. People who haven't dealt with it might say things like, "you're not praying enough" or, "just let it go!" But let me reassure you it's a real struggle, and God sincerely wants to see you free from it. Begin by praying and asking Him to send people around you who can support you and encourage you in your darkest hour!
