I've been waking up at 3:00 am every night almost, in a panic attack. I can't go back to sleep for an hour or more. I think I'm scared because of all the crazy people out there in these cannibal attacks and what - not being possessed by demons, and keep correlating it to me waking up at that time. I need something to calm me down. Is it possible or am I just being crazy

Satan will definitely attack us in our thoughts...especially at 3 am. I wonder what it is about 3 am? Maybe our deepest sleep is over and it's the time when fears surface. I find myself praying at this time.

Strange you should post this at the same time that I've been convicted of changing something in my life. For the past year I've been reading website news from a site that must deliberately search out the WORST of humanity stories. Very depressing and downright scary at times.

I wake up with these awful stories bouncing around in my head. Though I pray for the victims and families, I decided today to delete that website from my favorites and not use it as a news source. It's just having a terrible affect on me.

It's good to take precautions where we can but God does not mean for us to live in a state of fear. It means our faith is weak and it inhibits any good we may be able to do in the world.

So if there is something in your life having a negative affect on your faith, then please consider eliminating it. I was rather addicted to this site and I knew this was not a good thing. My fallen nature was attracted to these awful stories.

Praying for strength and guidance for you :)

Pray something like this : 'I sumbit myself to Jesus and command the devil and any of his influnces to leave.'
All fear comes from the enemy. When you gave your life to Christ he lost all authority over you.

I used to have the same thing happen to me except that my scary thoughts were about the world coming to a complete end, there being no more God, no more us and it would terrify me. I would wake up and walk around, I was uncomfortable with a lot of anxiety. Most nights I would go to the living room and fall asleep to the tv but it was only a temporary fix. One night I woke up with it really bad. I went to sit in the living room and encountered my only option...I prayed for God to take this extreme fear from me, I couldn't handle it anymore. I reminded myself and God that He said He would never give us more than we could handle. I cried and just continued praying that He would take this all away and give me comfort and peace. Sure enough He did. I 've felt so much better since then. I very rarely get a little scared feeling in me when I allow my imagination to run wild into the hands of Satan. But I always have to remember who can lead me back to comfort and ultimate peace. And when Satan tries to attack order him to "Get behind me, Satan!" (Matt. 16:23)
