Stress Center Peer Support

Hello Everyone,
I feel a leading by the "HOLY SPIRIT" to write on this matter this morning!!!

First of all, I need for all of you to know that I suffered from agoraphobia, severe panic attacks and anxiety, accompanied by depression for 21 years of my life!!!

This condition is soooo very painful, and the Good Lord has laid it on my heart to talk to all of you concerning this condition!!!

First of all, I need for each and every one of you to understand that there really is NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!!!

Each of you are scaring your own selves by believing the negative thoughts that pop into you head daily!!! YOU ARE THE ONES WHO ARE FEEDING THE FEAR BY BELIEVING THESE UNTRUTHFUL THOUGHTS, WHICH, POP INTO YOUR MIND!!!

Please understand that if you would just look straight to Jesus and ask HIM to increase your faith and "just be still and listen to His quiet still voice" and to listen to what HE HAS TO SAY ABOUT FEAR, THEN, HE WOULD TEACH YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT THESE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS WHICH ARE HAUNTING YOU DAILY!!!!

Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Jesus is our Counsellor and our teacher!!! We must mediate upon HIS WORD, pray for HIM to teach us these things, THEN WE MUST BE QUIET AND LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAS TO SAY CONCERNING THESE THINGS!!!

It is not God's will that anyone should suffer in this matter!!! Trust me on this one!!! God wants to deliver us, but, we first must be "still" and "quiet" so, we can hear HIS "Soft Still Voice"

I think that so many of us get caught up in looking for others for answers, that we forget that Jesus has all the answers to every problem we face in this life!!!

We can find these answers through prayer, The Word of God, then, we must ask HIM to teach us how to overcome these things!!! We must be "quiet and "still" so, we can hear what HE has to say concerning these matters!!!

He is the "ONLY ONE" who can truly help and deliver us out of these things!!!

Psalms 34:19..Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Psalm 34:4 I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him And saved him out of all his troubles.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

We must come to him boldly with that child-like faith and as humble as a little child, then, He will in no likewise cast us out!!!

Think of your own child!!! If you had it within your power to deliver your child from fear, then, I am sure you would do just that!!!

Remember, our Heavenly Father loves us more than we do our very own children and that is soooo difficult to imagine!!! And HE does have the power to deliver us from our fears!!!

Think about this....First our child would need to ask us for help, since, we would not want to impose upon him/her!!!

Next, if our child never was not silent, then, he/she could not even hear what we had to say!!!

Then, our child would need to listen to us (as parents) and follow our advice!!!

Of course, our child would believe us and be humble, since, it is our little child, and does have that "childlike" faith!!!

Of course, we would instruct our child on how to overcome any type of fear, difficulty, or situation, and through it's simple childlike faith and "trust" in us, it would go about it's day "secure" in the knowledge that it is safe, secure and would not even think upon these matters anymore, since, it would trust that it's parents have taken excellent care of the situation!!!

We must approach our Heavenly Father in this very same manner to see "miracles" happen in our lives!!!

If this just helps one person on this forum to overcome the "obstacles" in their lives, then, it was well worth me typing all of this out!!!

I pray each of you have a wonderful day free from anxiety, fear and depression!!! God Bless

thank u for posting this it really got me to thinking tonite how i need to put things in gods hands i try to fix everything myself. I think the reason i try to fix everything myself is because i dont have enough faith. Seems like i pray sometimes and it gose no where. When u pray please remember me. I really need the Lords help I go threw so much. I just need alot of prayer. I use to go to church all the time but I had to quit because of my anxiety, I would love to be able to go back to church again.

Dear Clineng, You are soooo welcome

Have a beautiful evening!!! God Bless You Clineng!!!

hi I'm new here. I also know Jesus is my answer. however I tried praying and all sorts of things for about 6 months. I finally had to go on medication. I am too condemning of myself. its a long story but I have trouble loving myself the way God loves me. I have had the scary thoughts and it made me not like myself. I don't know how to really get over that. can you tell me what helped you thru this. I'm new to the forums. I hope this will notify me. I was on here once before and it didn't notify me. I want so much to be pleasing to Jesus and live for Him. thank you. I hope I get to know you more and mebe you can help me too. bless you sister in Jesus.

Hi Pam,
I pray that you do have the StressCenter.com program for panic, anxiety and depression!!! If so, that is a great start!!!

Just pray and ask God to bless the program to help you!!! Make sure to use the tools in the program and by the Grace of God you will be more than an over comer!!!

It is all about trusting the Lord to do as HE promised in the Bible!!! The Bible and prayer are our weapons against the adversary!!!

You was made in the very image of God, so, you have a lot going for you!!! You are very unique in the eyes of our Savior!!! You are a child of the King!!! How much better can it get than that???

You know that God loves you more than you love your very own children and that is difficult to imagine, yet HE does!!!

Try seeing yourself through HIS eyes!!! If you have children, look at your children and what do you see!!!

When I look at my children, I see how very special, unique and loved they are by me!!!
I, also, see much beauty in them because they belong to me, since, God gave them to me!!!

Now, imagine what God sees in you!!! I am sure HE sees much beauty, talent, and every other great descriptive word in the dictionary!!!

What really matters in this life is what God thinks of us!!! I am not a people pleaser, but, I do desire to be a God pleaser!!!

I pray this helped you in some way!!! God Bless You Pam on Your Journey to Recovery!!!

Have a great night because you are very safe sheltered beneath the wings of Our Almighty God!!!

thank you ms T.

I guess I'd just like an instant healing. I respect you for how you have been healed thru
the Lord and perseverance.
I wish that I could email with you and get
encouragement. I know you are right about
depending on the Lord and the Word.
we are studying books by Charles Capps
also and learning so much from the word.
The Spirit gave me Acts 10:38 last nite.

I'm having trouble with this program because
I have the panic over doing anything new.
I know the Lord has done some great things
in my life during this time. He is making
me new. I just don't know why I can't give
total trust to the Lord --especially when
my mind wants to go a different way. how did you
get your mind to go to the Word and fight
against the enemy? thank you. how can I
get my email address to you? Thank you for
being here to help us. I really appreciate it.
