By Cathy Mercer


Anxieties are feelings that for most come and go. Yet for acute sufferers this is far more than something that just comes and goes. Major incidents, referred to as attacks, escalate to the point that a victim becomes incapacitated. Yet there are signs that by regularly consulting bible verses anxiety can be overcome.

The lives of many people have become unbearable due to the impact of this condition. The onset of symptoms present themselves and affect people in different ways. Some people are affected by events such as leaving their homes, while others by congested or wide open places. For others it may simply be exposure to certain circumstances in everyday life, a working environment or even certain social situations.

Indications of an attack vary from perspiration, hyperventilation, the shakes, palpitations and cramp in the tummy. In serious instances it can involve pain in the chest similar to a cardiac incident, inability to control the bowels or bladder or even total physical breakdown and irrational behavior. People who have no first hand experience, often fail to comprehend how the condition can have such devastating impact, yet this is the reality for many sufferers.

Cures can vary as much as symptoms and causes. Psychiatric help like cognitive behavioral therapy is one approach, coaching and mentoring another. Drug treatments and hypnosis have also been successful. The simultaneous presence of depression makes it more difficult to detect and manage the condition.

Something that has had a curative effect in some people is the use of specific passages from the Bible. One could look at this as a form of spiritual therapy. The Bible relates the stories of many characters who were subject to extreme pressure, persecution and personal suffering. The books of Apostles discuss anxiousness extensively through the teachings of Jesus.

Many other religious organizations and faiths also preach and counsel extensively on these matters through their teachings and writings. A few specific Biblical referrals follow which through deeper meditation may provide calmness and harmony to those entrapped in their anxious lives.

The accounts as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew 6 verse 25 till 34, compare the lives of people with that of birds. The key to the analogy is that a bird does not farm with seed to secure a crop, yet they lead prosperous lives by the grace of the Almighty. Revealing that people are cared for in similar fashion he goes on to compare beautiful lilies with the splendor of Solomon and posing the question whether a lifespan can be lengthened through a worried anxious outlook.

Many similar passages are to be found in the writings of both the new and old testaments. Luke chapter 12 and the Philippians chapter 4 may prove particularly calming and reassuring to an anxious soul. The book of Psalms is also full of inspirational words with Psalm 23 and 55 being especially famous. These and many others can provide a tremendous lift to people plagued by the worries and pressures of this world.

A reputable life application Bible or alternatively a specialized Biblical reference website is the only additional resource required to locate these and more inspirational readings. It is reassuring to realize that in this high tech world, through an ancient book of bible verses anxiety can be treated and healed.
