So as some of you already know, I in April was having a horrible time in my life, with my panic attacks about every hour of my life. It was awful. Well I took a step out in faith with much prayers from many people and I went and got a job for the first time in a few months. I love my job, and God has blessed me today with a raise. I was so excited! I was listening to intentional living on the radio and I felt like the Lord was speaking to me, since this was the third person that I heard talking about money issues. I took all of my credit cards which is my enemy and I locked them all away. Two days after I felt great conviction for spending money all the time started worrying about how I was going to pay off my credit card bills because I only work 6 hours a day and that isn't full time in my eyes, then today I go into work and my supervisor calls me in her office and then she handed me a paper with my new salary on it. Wow it finally hit me, (not that I didn't already know) but the Lord will always take care of us and even if it seems impossible, through God ALL things are possible. I have almost completly gotten rid of the panic attacks and only now suffer from anxiety attacks every now and then. I through prayer ask God every day to give me a sound mind and to guard my mind from any thoughts that might be thrown my way. I also in all of this told my husband that I needed to be trained in another department (because you get a huge pay increase) or they needed to give me more hours or by the end of this year I would be looking for another job with benefits. Well I asked God what to do and then the raise. I use to have much panic about not having insurance for me and my husband and now we are covered and we have no deductibles unless we go to the ER and it isn't an emergency. The Lord is soooo good to me. I have been walking out in faith and taking steps to take my mind off of anything negative, I have stopped watching the news and I have started only listening to the Christian radio stations, the man on the radio said that if we kept on listening to the station and only that for a few weeks that it would change our lives, and wow it sure has. That station has changed me into a person that every morning I listen pray and worship with praise to the Lord on my way to work and then I listen to the stations and pray on my way home. It is wonderful. I am so thankful to all of you that have prayed for me and most of all I am thankful for all the things that the Lord has done and will do for me. I am so thankful for everything in my life. I am very blessed and I want all of you to know that if you are struggling with panic and anxiety and you feel like you can't get out of the house or ever go anywhere you can. Step out in faith and pray for a sound mind and keep moving forward. To all of you without jobs and looking pray for the job that God wants you to have to come and He will give it to you. Keep faith and keep praying for others and don't forget yourself in the things that you need. God bless you all!

Your sister in Christ,

I'm glad to read your post jennifier prayer,thanksgiving,praise listening to THE WORD. you know even though I have a problem with alcohol I still listen to tbn and daystar the way that I look at that is what it say's in the bible faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word. I won't be an alcolholic long and what you said about the news I know that gives us something else to fret about. GOD had to have heard the prayers that went up other wise there is no way that you could be blessed like that. that is a miricle one after another. that makes me feel good just reading that thank you for sharing that sis. t rock

Sorry I haven't written sooner, my computer was out of comission for awhile. I just wanted to tell everyone that I can say that I have had horrible aniety in the past. I didn't want to leave the house and didn't unless I had to. When I prayed and got no answers, I then realized that my prayers weren't being answered because I wasn't doing my part. If I didn't move in faith and get out of the house and do it everyday then I wasn't doing my part. It isn't that God doesn't hear our prayers it sometimes is what God is saying to us that we don't listen to, which in return keeps us from being able to receive what the Lord is trying to do for us. I know that since I have completley been listening to what the Lord is telling me to do and keeping walking in faith I have turned around 100% and I thought this was never going to go away. I listend to the tapes and did the excercises which helped alot, but if you are staying in the house never leaving or doing something you are scared to do because you once paniced you need to do it because that way you can over come the fear that you have recieved. I am telling you all this because I thought I was going crazy and all it did was make me feel like I was never going to get better. DON'T LISTEN TO THAT LIE! You can get better, I have! I am glad that this has helped the one's that it has and I am glad that it has encouraged the others. If anyone needs to talk, PM me and I will talk to you on there or if you need to talk on the phone I can give you my number. What ever it is that you need I would be happy to help, I feel like God allowed me to feel the way I did so that I would trust in Him and now I know that through anything I will go through He will take me through it. God bless you all and praise God all of you can get better just as I did.

Shoot, I hit the wrong key and lost my post. Anyway, I said what you wrote is great Jennifer. If you want to call me, I'll PM you my phone number or I can call you. Keep up the good work. When we help others we're helping ourselves cuz we're getting our mind off ourselves...our biggest hindrance.
