I am 16 years old . I've always been anxious , but never had any panic attacks . About a couple months ago i was sleeping & woke up in the middle of the night , and i couldn't breath . I cried and told my mom and dad , i was having a panic attack , i was shaking , and my heart was racing . I calmed down and went to bed , i woke up and i didn't feel like the same person . i was so scared that i was going to have another panic attack , i felt like i wasn't myself . i felt like i wasn't in my body and i hated that . After a couple days i was hopeless , i had a doctor app. but i knew the only thing that could fix me was god. i am a christian but i didn't go to church ,or pray regularly . I just believed in him . So i told myself that i was going to church because i was desperate .
i went with my mom and i did not know anyone because i never went when my family did . at the end the pastor asked for prayer requests and i was scared to talk so my mom said "my daughter needs prayer for her anxiety". I noticed everyone got in a circle and the people who needed prayer went in the middle one at a time and got prayed for. I was so scared and was going to leave because i'm shy and i did not want to do it! i didn't tell anyone that, but inside i was going to vomit. It was my turn, i went in the middle, all the woman put their hand on me and anointed me with oil(put some prayer oil on my forehead) i was skeptical because my parents would always talk about healing...
anyways , they prayed for me and i felt gods presence, i felt so happy with joy, and then they were done i burst into tears and started crying really hard. I was crying because i was so happy for some reason.
The pastor came up to me and said "I felt like you were really scared to come up to get prayer, like you didn't want to, god told me he is proud of you for stepping up, and he said that is what you need to start doing to overcome what your going through"
I was in shock because no one knew how scared i was because i acted like i wasn't, and god told him something for me.
Then on the way home i felt god with me and i didn't have any anxiety anymore i slept so peaceful at night . I started going to church and praying, now i cant go a day with out praying, or talking to god, he has showed me some great things i never thought would happen. LIKE THIS!!!!!
one night i was so sad and depressed i cried out to god to give me a sign that he is real, i begged him, i wanted to believe in him and trust him. I didn't think he heard my prayers. I DID NOT TELL ANYONE I DID THIS.
Then when i went to church again and got prayed for , the pastor said, "god said that you have doubted that he is real, and wondered if he has heard your prayers, he said i am real my daughter and i have heard you crying out to me. you have heard my voice and i will begin speaking to you even more. you will know my voice, i have healed your mind and the enemy no longer has any power in your mind or over your thoughts..."
that is just a little bit of what he said, there is so much more i can share with you.
YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS even the days you think you can't. Even if you don't believe in god and you have no hope, just say this out loud
"god, i don't know if your real, but i want you to come into my heart, and show me things i never seen before." that's all you have to say and he will help you . trust me, you have nothing to lose. start praying everyday, i know if your not a believer and this would sound weird to me to if i wasn't christian, please don't be skeptical this is REAL. i'm still struggling myself, we can go through this together!
