Praying in faith to God who is powerful can be refreshing and rewarding. This is good medicine for your mental health.
Mental issues like anxiety attacks are most often caused by constant worry and thinking about life and its challenges.
This is why scripture commands us to be anxious for nothing, but to pray about everything. When we pray to God, we come to him with our burdens and drop them at his feet. This means that we don’t have to overwhelm ourselves with our problems.
Through prayers, we trust God with our problems and inner-most secrets; and ask him to fill our lives with peace.
So I have provided prayers for anxiety attacks for you. Pray them when you are being pulled into a state of anxiety and panic.
