helo, brothers and sister, i am studying basic knowleage about bible with a new christian who got a disease of called anxiety. when we get together , she felt good.but when she got back home, she still full of some scary idea which satan gave.she has very serious self esteem so that she is very scared to go to some very formal environment like bank.even he scared to death. before she got to this kind of place, she was very intese and she was very afraid of being judged by others. because her parents never praised her what ever she did when she was young.. instead they were always fussy about her. so please pray for her, hoping keep satan away , thanks, by the way , you are welcome if you have some good suggestions for her.

First of all, I would like you to appreciate your effort to encourage and share your knowledge about Christ and the Bible with your friend. Is there a pastor you can talk to about her or a church that you can take her to? I will be praying for your friend to have peace in her heart and for her to overcome all her fears in the name of Jesus who gives us victory over our enemy!

Encourage her to go into situations that provoke anxiety for her and to open up to others. She might feel like she is alone in her struggles but that is not true. There are people who would judge but there are also many who would welcome and encourage. Likely the more she opens up to people about her struggles and feelings, the better she will feel.

It should help if she can get to the root as to why she is worried about going to the bank and other anxieties. Often times with anxiety and self-esteem problems, there are untrue beliefs that need to be rooted out and replaced with truth and also negative self-talk. If she is worried about feeling very anxious, she could tell herself " So what if I feel anxious? " or when anxious " This too will past" She can pray to God asking for help with anxiety and thank him he is with her and will give her grace to do what she needs to do.

There have been times when I was feeling anxious that I would talk to someone. That seemed to help sometimes. Many times when I have felt anxious, my blood sugar dropped and I was needing to eat. She might want to check to see if there are anything physical things contributing to the anxiety. Worries about being judged by others is normal. Anxiety is not a disease. It is normal to experience anxiety, some experience it more than others, and some should seek counseling and medicine.

Reading the bible( Psalm 139 is good), prayer, surrounding yourself with people who truly love you is always good and important. I actually need to read it more... Exercise helps some and good nutrition can help too.

I will pray for her.
