When you have anxiety it tends to center around negative thinking. So, as I have prayed, the Lord has revealed some things to me that I would like to share with you.

1.) You have to change your thinking and believing...When I have anxiety attacks, my anxiety says to me, " You can't do that!" "If you do that you will die!" .... So write down things to combat those negative thoughts. For example: I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me! I will live and not die!... And read those positive affirmations to yourself everyday. 


2.) Read your Bible and seek God's guidance. Why? Because he is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.


3.) Pray. Ask for God's help and strength to overcome this.


4.)  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.Ephesians 6:11.
 Gird your waist with truth, the breastplate of righteousness, shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit. Prayers to say as you are putting on the whole armor of God.


The belt of truth- Thank you, my lord for showing me the truth about yourself, your plans and your ways. Thank you for reminding me that you are the only God, the creator of heaven and earth, the King of the universe, My father who loves me. You are my wisdom, my counselor, my hope and my strength. You are everything I need each day! Amen


The breastplate of righteousness- Thank you for showing me the truth about myself. Thank you for taking my sins to the cross and offering me your perfect righteous life. Lord, show me any sin that I need to confess right now so that nothing will hinder me from being filled to overflowing with your spirit. (Take time to confess) Thank you for forgiving me and for  filling me with your righteous life. 
Amen 


The shield of faith- Thank you for helping me have faith in you. I choose to count on everything you have shown me about yourself and everything you have promised me in your word. Amen


The helmet of salvation- Thank you for promising me salvation both for today's battles and for all eternity.Amen


The sword of the spirit, the word of God-Thank you for the scriptures you have given me to memorize. Please show me which you want me to use to cut through deceptions and gain victory in any battle I may face. Amen


5.) Listen to uplifting music and worship God. Thank him for what he's done and what he's going to do in your life.


6.) Exercise. Exercise releases stress and gives you energy.


7.) Eat healthy. Eating healthy will insure that you are getting all the necessary nutrients you need to be healthy.


8.) Remove yourself from negative people or situations. Instead surround yourself with positivity.


I hope this helps you!
