Trust and faith when you deal with anxiety

I know that the bible encourages us to walk by faith and trust in God with all the heart. These things, trusting in God and walking by faith, just don't come the most natural to me. I deal with anxiety quite frequently and at times panic attacks but these are less often than they used to be, but still not fun if it comes... What advice would you give on how to trust and step out in faith for someone like me who struggles in the area of trust in God?

My friend last year suddenly started experiencing anxiety and panic attacks. He said he had no idea how it felt for people who go through such a thing until then.
Made me realise, its so easy to throw a Bible scripture someone and say just do this without having experienced it myself.
Perhaps someone who's been through it can guide and help in full understanding, like dusty's post above.

P.s. not discounting sharing scriptures with someone to help them but I feel somewhat apprehensive doing so myself without understanding.

Panic attacks are not dangerous but when you are experiencing one, not as easy to think logically. I have often done self talk such as it is just anxiety and I got this... stuff like that and I often pray while driving for a good ride. At times when the panic was at its peak I would pray but many of these were panicky praying which may have made the panicky feelings even worse. Many times I have thanked God for his presence and that may have helped.

Cheries when you say panic attacks what do you mean, do they just randomly come against you out of the blue, or are they triggered by something specific? Just trying to understand.

When the devil attacks which may happen anytime, we do have protection with Gods armour. If its your mind we have Christs minds and the helmet of salvation. We have a breastplate of righteousness. We have girded up our loins with truth, for offence we have a sharp sword, and defence a shield of faith. And on our feet sandals of the gospel. See Ephesians 6:13-18

You said you want to step out in faith...so check, are your feet shod? You wouldnt step on scorpions and snakes with barefeet would you.
Have you got your shield...your faith. It covers you. Many shields would have a symbol showing you belong to God. You in Gods army. Now Im not saying these are literal they are just word pictures that Paul gave to the Ephesians to encourgage them to be strong in the Lord.

Ive had a spirit of terror cast out of me. I received this spirit as a child, my earliest memory was of being abandoned alone by my parents. I grew up fearful I always thought my parents were either going to kill me or leave me, I would be terrified. I also sometimes I had dreams of being suffocated. I dont quite know how this happened as was only a baby at the time but never really bonded healthy with my mother, and I do know that as a child if I did anything wrong like dare to cry put as babies do, I wasnt comforted but cursed. Now i dont understand why, maybe it was cos I was the second born daughter, maybe I was overlooked. Who knows, but God knows. I grew up extremely timid and shy and could never raise my voice or dare speak out in case I was silenced again. People noticed and they often would ask if Id actually been abused cos sometimes I would have spells where I would get agitated and want to run away for no discernable reason. I also couldnt sleep sometimes and be awake at night I would have no peace, afraid of ...something. And demons found it easy to attack me.

Anyway to cut a long story short upon my deliverance this was spirit of terror was cast out and after that I was free and never had those fearful, anxious or feeling intimidation again. It tooks some ministers to speak life into me like 'you are my daughter' and 'you are fearfully wonderfully made' and even to know that God loved me. That He was always there and that He cared, even in my darkest hours. i just didnt know it back then. GOd reached in down deep in my soul and touched my heart, I had built up a big shell around me where it hurt, and found it hard to trust anyone so there was this inner wound. GOd healed me I just write this as a testimony to His goodness. With God there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of. He will deliver you just call on Jesus name. If theres any panicking or dangerous situation that you cant think logically all you need to call on is Jesus and he's right there.

Yesterday I was in traffic and I felt somewhat anxious during that but as I was about to exit and the I could go much faster, I started to feel panicky and got super anxious partly because I needed to use the restroom.

What I did that worked for me was to take time out to be alone, then go on a fast. My fast was to immerse myself in God's word. No food or anything of the material world I could get along without. I used Tom Bradford's commentary to help me study God's word. He kept scripture fascinating and he doesn't add any man-made doctrines, only some ancient Hebrew history. I also spent lots of time in listening prayer.

It took me five days of this and then I felt like a remade person. It was several years ago that I did this and I still feel it changed something within me that could only be described as adding joy to my life, joy that isn't dependent on anything happening in my world.
