Today has been one of those days for me. I have been open about my struggles with Panic & Anxiety. There are a weeks when I could honestly tell you that I am not struggling with it. But today is not one of those days. It seems that it hits you out of the blue. Today it hit me. So as I wrestle with this real life battle even now as I type I want you to know what I do so that maybe you will take something from my experience.
When I am anxious and the walls seem to be coming in on me, I pray, I read, I listen. Right now, I am praying and reading about the greatness and powerfulness of God found in Job 26. He is powerful enough to hold the earth and space, so I know that He can handle my little anxiety and panic attacks. No matter how huge they are in my own eyes, they are nothing He cannot handle! He is bigger than my anxiety & panic. Fill in the blank with this one. Whatever your battle is at this very moment speak it out loud. Say “God, You are bigger than________” Claim that! Because IT IS TRUE!! There is nothing that our God cannot handle. Say it again from the depths of your heart. “God, You are bigger than _________” Speak it and believe it!
I didn’t really plan on blogging any of that. I simply was going to throw this song up here and hope it encouraged you. So here it is. This is a great song of hope. I believe it is going to be all right!! Listen and remember God is bigger than ______.
Thanks for being real Bro! Hang in there!
Praying for you Jeff! And you’re…our God is BIG enough!!!
And you’re right…(typo!)
Jeff,
I so commend you for your openness and honesty. So true…God is bigger than anything we go through. That is where my comfort rests. No better arms to be in. Praying for you brother.
Love the song…never heard it before. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Jeff… Anxiety is something I’ve dealt with too and know how gripping and paralyzing it can feel! Will pray for you.
