What to Do When Anxiety Attacks

Back to Growth Plan List

Worry…anxiety…stress. It all takes a real toll on a person -- physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Ideally, this isn’t how God wants you to live. He has better plans for you; plans for hope and a future. Plans where your burdens are light and you are filled with peace and love. Even if all you can see is your anxiety right now, you can get where God wants you to be.

This growth plan outlines seven sure steps you can take to lean in towards God when anxiety attacks. The more you practice them, the easier it will be to overcome your anxiety and worry.

01 01

Trust in God's Love for You

When you feel anxious, trust that God’s love can give you peace. Focus on His character and what you know about His love instead of focusing on your anxiety and worry.

Pray

Give Your Burdens to the Lord

Giving up your burdens to the Lord will help you find true rest. A rest that is much more than a good night’s sleep; it is a rest that is filled with peace that passes understanding.
