According to Mayoclinic.org, “A panic attack is characterized by sudden episodes of intense fear that trigger severe physical reactions, even when there is no real danger. Symptoms can include rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, and feelings of impending doom. These attacks can happen unexpectedly and may peak within minutes, often leaving individuals feeling drained afterward.” Eurekahealth.com states some reasons for panic disorder and that they stem from the body’s fight or flight response, anxiety disorder, a history of trauma, stressful life events, chronic stress, and more.
God refers to anxiety and fear as being spiritual. He tells us, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7, (NKJV). And as Christians, we can turn to Him when we feel overwhelmed and life is out of control. There are many Scriptures to give us the reassurance we need to help us through these difficult moments in life. Isaiah 41:10 reassures us that, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (NKJV). Psalm 46:1 presents hope in this way, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (NASB 1995)
Let me pray in faith for you concerning these panic attacks. “I stand in the gap believing for your deliverance and healing from this panic disorder and feelings of intense anxiety, fear, and terror. I stand on the promise that you are loosed from this infirmity (Luke 12:13) and the sudden fear of death and doom. This spirit of fear (2 Tim. 1:7) no longer has control over your mind and emotions, but you are free, and whom He sets free is free indeed (John 8:36). Amen.”
And I also want to give you a confession of faith for you to pray over yourself throughout the day, or when you feel overwhelmed, and life is out of control. Pray this aloud in faith.
Dear Jesus, my Redeemer, I stand in faith believing that by Your stripes that You bore on Your back for me I am delivered, healed, and made whole (Isa. 53:4-5) from these panic attacks and feelings of intense anxiety, fear, ad terror. For the weapons of my warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for the pulling down strongholds, 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 (2 Cor. 10:4-5). By the power of Your blood, I am delivered from this curse because You became the curse for me (Gal. 3:13), I am loosed from these invisible chains of bondage (Luke 12:13). I am not controlled by a spirit of fear but of power, of love, and of a sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7). I will not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present my requests to You. Your peace, which transcends all understanding, will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:6-7). Amen.
