The NIV 365 Day Devotional
Anxiety
What happens when you feel anxiety? Do you experience panic attacks? Do your emotions hijack your brain? Lots of men struggle with anxiety, and in our connected world with around-the-clock news and social media at our fingertips, the barrage in of information, statistics and news can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety and panic.
If you suffer from anxiety, then think about what might happen if you made a conscious effort to pray the next time you receive bad news or get stressed out. Before you panic or try to assess potential damage, try turning everything over to God and say, “I don’t know what to do—please guide me.” Like the psalmists in the Bible, pour out your feelings to God. Try that strategy the next time you feel overwhelmed.
