5 Scriptures to Reflect on When Anxiety Strikes
Anxiety at its root is feeling stressed, nervous, and worried over things. Sometimes anxiety can be helpful, such as encouraging us to study for an exam or to start packing for a trip. However, when anxiety starts to feel like a prison you cannot escape, you could be struggling with an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are mental health conditions that are becoming increasingly common. According to the American Psychiatric Association, anxiety disorders affect 30% of the adult populace in America.
When anxiety strikes, it can truly ruin our day. For many people with an anxiety disorder, it can lead to a panic attack or an anxiety attack. I have struggled with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) for most of my life and I can share how much it has negatively impacted my life. Rather than being able to do normal things that most people see as no-brainers, I get extremely anxious.
My thoughts begin to spiral down and before I know it, I’m having an anxiety attack. For many people, this is what happens as soon as they start feeling anxious. However, it also needs to be noted that there are many people who have slight anxiety over situations, but their anxiety is not part of an anxiety disorder. In other words, just because someone has occasional anxiety does not mean they have an anxiety disorder. It becomes an anxiety disorder once the anxiety interferes with your daily life.
For those who struggle with baseline anxiety and for those of us who struggle with anxiety disorders, we can find help for both in the Word of God.
