Let's Face It Anxiety has become an epidemic!

It doesn't seem to matter who you are.  Anxiety is impacting everyone!  And the effects of anxiety are leaving lasting consequences.

Just look at a few alarming statistics:

• Over 40% of people under the age of 25 are now grappling with anxious feelings. (source Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
• The use of anti-anxiety medications has increased by 36% in the last decade, with over 50 million prescriptions being filled annually. (Source: IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics)
• Approximately 40 million adults in the U.S., or 18.1% of the population, are affected by anxiety disorders. (Source: National Institute of Mental Health)
• About one-third of people each year who receive treatment for anxiety experience no improvement in their symptoms. (Source: Psychiatric Services)

If you've stuggled with Anxiety, Worry, or Fear...

you might have experienced some

or all of these symptoms

Are you Losing Sleep?

• Do you find yourself unable to shut your mind off because your worried about something and can't stop thinking about it?

Do You Have an Inability to relax and feel on edge?

• When we worry, our bodies release stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which trigger the body's "fight or flight" response
• worry can manifest as muscle tension, increased heart rate, and shallow breathing. These physical symptoms contribute to the feeling of being on edge and make it difficult to relax

Avoiding Social Interactions

• Do you avoid social activities and rather spend time alone
•  Do you panic thinking about going into a new environment?
• Do you worry about rejection

Are you irritable, moody, or easily agitated?

• Sometimes it's not an anger issue but a worry issue.  When we are overwhelmed with worry or anxiety our emotional bandwidth for normal life is greatly reduced.

Are you having a hard time concentrating on anything else?

• Excessive worrying about something can disrupt our daily activities
• It takes us away from being who God created us to be in a given moment cause we are focused on our worry or anxiety
• Worry and Anxiety can be paralyzing.  Do you know in the story of David and Goliath... the men of Israel went out to fight but because they were scared of Goliath they did nothing for 40 straight days.

Do you have physical symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath?

• Worry doesn't just affect our thought life it can affect our physical health as well.

All These Struggles Disappear When you learn how to Cast Your Anxiety to God and Leave it in His Hands!

I know that can sound hard to believe - but it's true.

It's not talked about much but a major source of the worries we encounter is Spiritual Warfare.

I'm going to quote 3 verses to you.  Let's see if you've heard them before.  If you've spent any time in a church, I'll bet you've heard them.

 1. "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble" (1 Peter 5:5)

2. "Cast all your anxiety upon Him [God] because He cares about you." (1 Peter 5:7)

3. "For your enemy prowls around, like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8)

Whether you've heard all of those verses before or not, you probably didn't know that they are all in the same chapter of the Bible one after another.  When we discover that they are right after each other we can learn some liberating truths about fear and anxiety. 

The first truth is this, the enemy (Satan) is prowling around looking to devour me and you in a moment of worry, fear, or anxiety. 

He's literally there in moments of worry and anxiety. 

That makes worry and anxiety more than a medical condition, more than a mental condition, IT IS A SPIRITUAL PROBLEM! 

If you're not fighting your worries and anxieties in a spiritual way, you're fighting a losing battle.

Why am I so confident that God can give you freedom?

Because Spiritual battles have to be fought spiritually.

I had one student who's parents called me and said that their son was in counseling but still struggling with suicidal ideation.  I agreed to meet with him.  I listened to him and could tell that fear was a root issue that he hadn't been dealing with in a Biblical way.  In three lessons, teaching him how to take his fears to God,  his suicidal ideation was gone. 

Maybe your worries and fears aren't that extreme.  I had a student attend a conference I did on overcoming worry, anxiety and fear.  Here's what Chris D. had to say: 
"When I arrived at the conference I was in an anxious state relating to my business. I have been in my field for over 3 decades and I'm usually quite confident and at peace about it. That fact that I wasn't, in and of itself, was disturbing. After the first session regarding peace (another way of saying the absence of fear), I dove into the application session and to say it was effective is an understatement. The anxiety went away to such a level that in the second section I was so peaceful and relaxed that I found myself falling asleep! I rallied for the rest of the conference but a need was met in the very first session."

Viki had this to say: "I learned so much and was able to directly apply it to my life right there during the course. I had not realized how much of a grip old negative tapes from past trauma in my life was still gripping my soul. Since taking  the course those tapes have been silenced. It has been such a release for my soul and am truly thankful for the peace I feel even during stressful times."

I have countless stories about how the truths of the Bible, when applied, brought freedom, peace, and calm into people's lives.
