I remember back in 1992 when I was struck with the Epstein Bar Virus. Boy did I get sick. I couldn’t function normally at all. I was always tired, always in pain, and always worried. I even experienced what I later learned were panic attacks - partly because of pressure internally that I felt and also because my blood sugar level was way out of control. So I’d have my emotions run off like a wild stallion, but my mind would be sitting still asking what are you so worked up about? Back then I learned some secrets to dealing with anxiety that still help me from time to time. I’ll share just one thing that maybe you could use even today. I learned to calm myself down by repeating Scripture over and over again in my mind. Passages like Psalm 23 – The Lord is my shepherd . . .” I’d even just repeat that and meditate on that and it enabled me to calm my heart so I could get to sleep. Or I’d memorize and meditate on Philippians 4 – an awesome passage if you are worried like I was. God’s word is extremely powerful and can provide healing. I encourage you to try this technique yourself. It has been better than medicine for me.
