2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV

“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind.”

This is one of my go to verses when my anxiety is getting the best of me. It reminds me that no matter what is going on in my mind or body to cause my anxiety to kick in, that God has not given me this spirit of fear, but that he has given me, power, love and a sound mind. That is one thing that I have to keep reminding myself when I am feeling like this, to go to the Word and put those words in my heart and mind. If I do this along with some breathing exercises, the anxiety releases its hold on me. God does not give us fear!!! He gives us his peace and love if only we look towards him and not to our circumstances. What helps you when your anxious?

Dear Lord, thank you for your love and power, help me not to fall into the pit of anxiety. If I do help me to remember to speak your Word into my heart and mind. Help me to help others as well. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
