A few weeks ago I thought I was going out of my mind. At the time I didn't realize I was experiencing a form of an "Anxiety Attack." My heart raced with fear as thoughts came to my mind of all the things I hadn't accomplished that day. And the fear of failing the people around me made me want to get sick. I was constantly thinking of all my mistakes I have made over the years. How I had failed my marriage. How I lacked in being a godly woman of God. How I have not been there for my kids like I know I should be. It was so paralizing that I couldn't even function at work. And my husband and children suffered the most because I unknowingly shut out the world around me. I did the least to just get by. Then one night out of desperation I cried out to God for help. I opened my bible to 2 Corinthian 10:5 "Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing EVERY THOUGHT into captivity to the obedience of Christ." And like blinders being pulled up from my eyes. I could see that I was believing a lie. Every thought was designed to destroy me. And I knew those thoughts were from the enemy and not of God. Then the scripture, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." echoed in my mind. I surrendered my feelings of failure to God that day. I gave Him my fears and anxieties. And my life was changed by the power of Jesus Christ. Every day when those thoughts would haunt me again, that scripture about condemnation would echo louder and I again surrendered them to God. I learned that it was a life change and not a moment change. That I am to surrender daily all that is in me that is not of God. And I encourage you to surrender your life to God. You may not have the same struggles as I have experienced. But your own struggles can be turned into freedom as you place your hurts, pains, sorrow, anger, resentment, bitterness or whatever you're facing into the hands of God. He is able, beyond your imagination, to make miracles happen in your life. God bless you and keep you in the name of Jesus.
