Anxiety - dealing with it

 It’s lying to me

Telling me that what I’m doing isn’t enough, so why bother

Telling me that people are tolerating me

But i know better

So I’m pushing back

I’m talking to those people

And seeing for myself that i matter

It’s telling me that my mission field is stupid

And nobody wants to hear about what i believe in

That my faith is stupid

But i know better

So i try harder

And i remind myself that fear is a liar

And that Satan is the Father of it

I disconnect from “expectations” and “requirements”

Give my mind a break from what i feel like I have to do

And literally let myself just feel

And do what i know I’m good at

I’m becoming capable of disconnecting from my anxiety

Instead of letting it overwhelm me

So thankful for the strength that I’ve gained

And the peace that I’m finding

And coping skills I’m adapting to

And the people in my life that show me and tell me not just i can do it.. but I’m doing it.. I’m living it

I’m thriving through it

Dear God, I’m so thankful

And grateful for my journey

Even in the middle of what wants to drag me down

I’m seeing victory

And accomplishment

Through Christ

I’m diving in
