Make sure it isn't a side effect of medicine. I had to go to the ER once because of panic attack and turned out it was a side effect of my medication. The did give me I think it was called Attrax or something that helped a lot.
When I told my doctor she said "oh that is one of the side effects." After she said that I felt like telling her "wait, hold up, did you just hear that i had a panic attack that was so bad, I had to go to the emergency room?" lol

I will not speak to all medicine or those who take it, but I agree with you at least in my case, it had devastating results, and I haven't taken any for many yrs.
I truly believe mine and other peoples prayers have had a much greater effect, and I praise the Lord for that.

Heart is heavy, as well as anxiety level. Can I lean on my brothers and sisters for prayer again?

Hi brothers and sisters. Thank you all so much for your prayers. Being on CC has truly helped me in many ways. But although the anxiety has gotten better overall, and I have gone long stretches trusting totally in the Lord, I still battle my fleshly mind and get anxious about past sins, especially as they relate to some of the verses in Hebrews. I HATE the fact that my mind goes back to leaning on my own understanding. I know the Lord loves me and I truly love Him. I just pray this destructive thought pattern would forever depart from me.

Any prayers or encouraging words would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I know God is faithful to cleanse me of my sin, but I sometimes feel like I haven't been cleansed and then I think that thinking THAT is sin and it reverberates from there to anxiety. I pray the Lord would increase my faith, and I would be free of that thought process once and for all.
I read Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotional most days, but only morning or evening, not both. Last year I read all the mornings, so this year I'm reading the evenings.

I thought this evening's was just to me, but I think it's for you too. (Don't feel the condemnation from the verse or the beginning of the piece, but do feel free to agree with it. It's the ending that will do you good.)



[h=2]Wednesday, December 16, 2015[/h][h=1]This Evening's Meditation[/h][h=3]C. H. Spurgeon[/h][HR][/HR]
"Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened."—Isaiah 48:8.
T is painful to remember that, in a certain degree, this accusation may be laid at the door of believers, who too often are in a measure spiritually insensible. We may well bewail ourselves that we do not hear the voice of God as we ought, "Yea, thou heardest not." There are gentle motions of the Holy Spirit in the soul which are unheeded by us: there are whisperings of divine command and of heavenly love which are alike unobserved by our leaden intellects. Alas! we have been carelessly ignorant—"Yea, thou knewest not." There are matters within which we ought to have seen, corruptions which have made headway unnoticed; sweet affections which are being blighted like flowers in the frost, untended by us; glimpses of the divine face which might be perceived if we did not wall up the windows of our soul. But we "have not known." As we think of it we are humbled in the deepest self-abasement. How must we adore the grace of God as we learn from the context that all this folly and ignorance, on our part, was foreknown by God, and, notwithstanding that foreknowledge, He yet has been pleased to deal with us in a way of mercy! Admire the marvellous sovereign grace which could have chosen us in the sight of all this! Wonder at the price that was paid for us when Christ knew what we should be! He who hung upon the cross foresaw us as unbelieving, backsliding, cold of heart, indifferent, careless, lax in prayer, and yet He said, "I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour . . . Since thou wast precious in My sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life"! O redemption, how wondrously resplendent dost thou shine when we think how black we are! O Holy Spirit, give us henceforth the hearing ear, the understanding heart!

I thank the Lord for the blessing of your prayers. This is a something I have been struggling with a long time. I'm not sure why the Lord hasn't totally removed this from me, but I am sure thankful for my brothers and sisters who lift me up!

Anxiety is a form of fear, take AUthority over these things rebuke them Luke 10:19 and take a stand against them knowing who you are through Jesus, as Gods Son, insecurities, we all need help with, for when we shall see him we will be without these things. In Jesus name Apply the covenant over you, your family, applying the Blood of Jesus over you. Amen

When disabling, chronic pain first hit me, I thought I knew the cause and the only thing I needed was doctors to fix me.

Hard enough time convincing doctors that it wasn't just recovering from gall bladder surgery. Something went wrong and I was in so much pain the post op pain felt no worse than someone accidentally poking me with a pin. After months of the biggest pain I've ever felt, I got angry with God, but it didn't take all that long to get over it and come back.

Then hubby got really sick, and then disabled. "It's not fair that God would do that to both of us."

Actually, it's more than fair, but it took me a long time to get to believing that again. I was angry for so long, I had no idea how to deal with it. And then a book came into my life. It answer your question, "Why doesn't the Lord totally remove this?" And it's not some mamby-pamby answer. It's not "God can't help it," "He's busy," "It's not his fault; it's Satan's fault." It's totally God's fault, but in a good way. Some thorn-in-the-sides are worth being stuck with in the long haul.

Read the book. You're asking a very good question and God has a very good answer. It doesn't make life easier, but it clarifies why life isn't easy, and shouldn't be.
