Through Following The Message In Bible Verses Anxiety Can Be Reduced And Overcome

By Cathy Mercer


Everyone feels the effect of anxiety from time to time, but there are those for whom this is far more than a brief passing episode. In many sufferers symptoms can worsen to the point that they are completely overcome by a full blown attack. Many are finding that with the continuous use of bible verses anxiety can be brought under control.

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.

Signs of an incident differ from excessive perspiring, difficulty breathing, shaking and abdominal cramping. This may worsen in some instances to pain in the upper torso, not unlike a heart attack, lack of control over the bowel or bladder and even being unable to stand or think coherently. Without having experience of the ailment, it is difficult for others to understand how incidents can be so debilitating, but they can be devastating.

Treatments are as varied as causes and symptoms range from counseling, cognitive therapy, prescribed drugs, and even hypnosis. The condition will sometimes occur in conjunction with depression with the aggravating effect that diagnosis and treatment may become more complicated.

A type of spiritual treatment found to be of assistance to some is meditation on selected texts in the Bible. Many role players within Biblical events were under intensely trying circumstances and naturally affected by their anxious feelings. Successful outcomes were due to people overcoming their fears through faith. The writings of the Apostles contain many inspirational teachings by Jesus that deal directly with anxiety.

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.

Within the writings according to the disciple Matthew, and specifically in chapter six verses 25 to 34, the author makes a comparison between mankind and the birds of the air. The point is made that birds do not sow or reap any harvest and yet they survive, through the grace of the creator, to live full and productive lives. The author compares lilies to the splendor of Solomon and asks philosophically whether through worrying and anxiety, a person can add to the length of their lives.

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.

All that is needed to find and understand similar readings is a notarized reference Bible. Another approach is to use one of the many websites that specialize in Biblical themes. Perhaps it is refreshing to find out that despite the great advances the modern world offers, with a very old book of bible verses anxiety can be laid to rest.
