Filed under: Coping and Overcoming Anxiety 

Sometimes, your fears may overwhelm you to the point that you feel like giving up. When this happens, the next step is to put your faith in God. Using the help of God can make a big difference in overcoming your fears, anxieties, and depression.

The one source that a person should use as a basis in managing their fears and anxieties is using God as a basis in dealing with their fears. The power of God is the one power that is stronger than your fears and anxieties. Also, God loves each one of us and he is the one person who has the power to solve all of our problems. He will help you if you ask him to.

Start talking and praying to God. A person can go to church or to a quiet place during the day to tell God that they are having a problem. They should tell God how they feel and ask God for some of his help. A person could also review the Bible and read some articles on trusting in God and then apply these concepts in their life. Each and every day, a person should make it up a habit to talk to God and ask for his help.

In addition, learn as much as you can in managing anxiety and depression. There are many books and information that will educate you on how to deal with fear and anxiety. Share this information with others who may be able to help you. Education is the key in finding the answers your looking for in managing your fears.

Think positive. A good way to manage your fear is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking. When encountering thoughts that make you feel fearful or anxious, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.

In every anxiety-related situation you experience, begin to learn what works, what does not work, and what you need to improve on in managing your fears and anxieties. For instance, you have a lot of anxiety and you decide to take a walk to help you feel better. The next time you feel anxious you can remind yourself that you got through it the last time by taking a walk. This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety the next time around.

Sometimes, it helps to be able to talk to someone about our stressful situations. Talking to a trusted friend, counselor, or clergyman can not only make us feel better, but they might be able to give you additional advice and insights on how to deal with your current problem. Getting help from a professional will make this entire process easier and will increase your chances of success.

Remember that God is stronger than your fears and anxieties. Be persistent and be open in the avenues that God may provide to you in solving your problem. It is not always easy, however God is in control and he will help you if you ask him.

    4. Do you trust your gut instincts?
    I’ve been with my guy for a year and bit now, and when it wonderful its perfect. Yet right now im down at rock bottom (yet again). When i met my man he had no shame in being open that he chatted up loads of women and i had to basically say "its me or her." it went well for a while, a slight hiccup when the past came to bite me on the arse that upset him but other than that, nothing. Then i had trouble with him going behind my back talking to the girl i gave him the ultimatum over. So again i put a stop to it because it was just getting out of hand.

    We managed a few months happy and that and it came to christmas and a girl he’s been friends with for a long time him and her was going swimming for something. I was wary but accepted it and put up with it, until after the gala i was told they were going to continue to go. I ask do you like her and ended up being slapped in the face with him saying he did. He spoke to her and basically because she didn’t want to ruin their friendship he wasn’t leaving me plus he loved me. I only asked in return for forgiving that he inform me if he spoke to her so i knew nothing fish was going on. Again we went a few months without crap until it happened again…i noticed him being suspicious on his phone and i decided to check it while he went to the toilet only to find that he was arranging to meet up with a girl after his holidays…we were due to end it because of uni complications but still. I found out who the girl was and got a lot out of her…how he bragged about texting her before and that he took her to see the movie Twilight…(i was rather gutted because i then realised that she was the reason he watched it TWICE for my birthday with me). He left and we missed each other so reconciled and decided we could work through uni.

    Then i get a slap in face to find out he’s been speaking to the girl he went swimming with without telling me…simply stating he "forgot" and that he’d not deleted the texts (yet unaware i’d checked his phone a few weeks earlier to find something i’d sent him and nothing was there from her.)

    This time i put my foot down and said no more. i can’t deal with it. I saw how his face crumpled at it so i thought lets see what happens. I know all his passwords and never once have I had the gut instinct to check, but logging on to his facebook my worst fears were confirmed…facebook chat with this particular girl. It wasn’t anything but he was clearly upset that i’d put my foot down. I saw another conversation with his mate and decided to look out of interest because i know they talked about what he does at uni and i’m very proud of him.
    On this conversation i noticed he’d said I’ve added her you know to which his mate replied you going to get on her? He didn’t answer yes or no…so confronted him, as i’d heard this girl mentioned and he’d said he didn’t know he last name and clearly lied about it as you need it to add someone on facebook.

    Nothing ever added up, the photo when he was on a lads holiday with a girl right up in face and they look like they’re gonna kiss being dismissed as a rep trying to get him to buy drinks.

    I really am confused as to whether im being taken for a doormat and being lied to constantly or i’m overworked by it all.

    Sorry for the long message, replies would be lovely, i’m sick of having no advice of people who know.

Tell me what you're thinking...
