Getting better! by turning my life over to god!

[grrlga30]

i have always believed in him, just never felt the closeness i do now.
I was so afraid of the virus, it was eating my life away. I have to little kids and i was sick of not being able to enjoy them to the fullest everyday, because i always though...what if there carrying the virus right now.
Well i dont know what happened, i think its that there has been so much sadness around me, i looked at some of my precious friends loosing there babies, or knowing that there child would not make it, and i thought about my life, and that my only trouble is my phobia...and i thought more into it, knowing that V** wasnt the problem, its the anxiety...and i decided God gave me so many blessings, i could ask him to take away my anxiety and my fear and burdens everyday! it has made such a difference for me...i get up in the mornings and if i feel that axniety coming over me, i just pray to God to take it away!!

Amen! I have done the same thing and made TREMENDOUS progress since. It's been about a year.

God did not give us a spirit of fear.... fear doesn't come from God. Keep that in mind. And as long as we keep "worshipping" fear, it's not God we're worshipping.

Good job and God bless you.

Knowing that God is there beside me helping me through this is about the only thing that gives me hope that I can someday overcome this.
