“An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up” (Proverbs 12:25, NIV).

“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4).

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:6-7) (Also see Psalm 55:22-23)

“Then Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?’” (Luke 12:22-26, NIV). (Also see Matthew 6:25-34)

“Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God” (Psalm 42:5).

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones” (Proverbs 3:5-8).

“…the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:26-28).

“And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).

“I can do everything through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13).

The apostle Paul found his strength in God, He reminds us that, “I …have …been in prison …frequently, been flogged …severely, and been exposed to death again and again. Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers. …I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. …Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn? If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. …I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. …[God] said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 11:23-12:10).


i believe that Jesus will cure my anxiety and i will be able to live a normal life.

Reverend....I love the Scriptures and I want to thank you for sharing....I believe every word of The Holy Bible with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength...

I just feel with all my heart that God is providing you with a way of escape through this program. He has placed the tools in your hands, and it is up to you to make the most of them...

I am a firm believer in God's healing power...
He has healed me many times, and I cannot begin to thank Him enough for that....

I, also, believe that our Jesus works through people and programs like this one to get us well...

I prayed for years for my healing from agoraphobia and panic attacks, and God Blessed me with this program...He placed the keys into my hands and I used them to help myself...

I believe that God gives us knowledge for a reason, and that is to use it...

So please use the keys God has placed into your hands is my prayer for you...May God Richly Bless You Is My Prayer!!!!

Hi all,
‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
We are weak and broken, yet we fail to keep our eyes on this detail of the reading. Christ's power rest on us, in our broken state! We are not weak, we in deed are stronger. I have been saying this from the outset of my participation here. In a PM that I sent someone called Starman,

I shared these very thoughts. Our strength lays not in our might but in the power and might of our Lord working in and through us, and the power of our prayers. We are all bruised reeds that He shall not spurn (Ps 51)

Brothers and sister we need not fear of our weakness, rather we should brag so that the power of Christ will work through and in us all the more!

We can never have enough to be reminded about these simple principles of faith. Thanks all.
