Panic

[roman8]

I was reading an old post by "2scoops" "do you have a broken heart"

It describes me alot in certain areas, I suffer from panic, anxiety, OCD and deppression:(

I feel that alot of what was said in that post applys to me, that all of these things hider y relationship with the Lord. Can I still be saved and full of fear at the same time?

Im not sure how to completely trust the Lord when I have sooo many questions.

I mean does anyone know why God put us here in the first place , I cant stop thinking about that, Is it in the bible? If so where. I know why everything fell apart and how its all going to end , but why , why if he knew before he even created us ,then why.

Am I the only one who wonders this , is there an answer to this.

I am tired of being afraid all the time , I want to trust him , but I cant get past the why of it all.

And if I am having trouble trusting , then can I still call myself a Christain, When I made a decision to follow Christ , I ment it but lately all these questions are haunting me filling me with fear.

If you have scripture that would clarify things for me that would be great.

Hi, I have panic attacks too. no fun at all. there are different things we think that help cause them. like do you think "what if" this and that? do you project out into the future? can you be saved and full of fear. yep I was. I know its no fun.

sometimes we must realize we will not have the answers to everything.
thats a hard one.


yes, you can call yourself a christian although you have trouble trusting.
did you ask Jesus into your heart to save you?

Hi Jessie , yes I do that "WHAT IF" all the time , part of my problem , get stuff stuck in my head and cant let it go. Always thinking the worst possible thing.

Yes I have asked Jesus to come into my heart and change me, I have said that prayer many times since that first day. It was because of all this anxiety that caused me to cry out to him in the first place. I was ready to take my life , I had givin myself a time limit on how long I would live like this and when that time was up if I wasnt better I would take my life.

the next day after making that decision a customer of mine came in and told me that her husband had passed away very suddenly , and although very upset she told me that Gods plan is perfect and she will have to continue her journey without him, she was at peace with it. I told her I wish I had that kind of faith and she said you can and handed me a bible from her purse, then asked if I would attend church with her since she would be going alone now . I didnt go , but a week later I ran into her again buying socks at a department store, and she asked me again and I agreed.

Its amazing , I am typing this out and wondering how on earth could I have any doubts.

Your right , I dont have to know the answer to everything. :):

But God gave me this brain and I am drivin to know answers to every little question, I just wish I could turn it off sometimes .:aah:

[Jessie]

I know how it feels to what answers to every little question. boy is it wearying... :faint:

dont project into the future. and the what ifs, they are fear producing.

if you ever need to talk I'm here for you!

Your saved or you wouldn`t be worrying about it, our minds are in continual battle against the Devil and flesh.
It`s all about faith now, this world is a corrupt fallen world from Adam and Eve, Satin will try to steal your faith to make you a doubting weak Christian.
We have to stand against Satan and trust God in everything, i know it`s hard but the more you trust God by faith alone the more you will understand and see results.
Even if we don`t see or have our questions answered here and now all things will be answered in Heaven.
I think it`s human nature to not believe without proof, look how they doubted Jesus and He was doing all kinds of miraculous things.
Also listen to your heart, if a person is born again what they hear is the Holy Spirit, and He won`t lie to you.
