Suggestions to Help Anxiety

[Ekaterina]

Hi, I have been having a problem with anxiety, it’s happening when I am working on the computer, I would like some suggestions for youtube videos or recorded homilies that I can play in the background to help with the anxiety or even music would be helpful. Something soothing. Especially would like recordings of prayers or homilies that pertain to how to overcome anxiety problem. Meeting with a psychologist on a regular basis but want additional support. Thanks.

Where there is anxiousness there can be fear and dread. If its work related then you may need to examine if you are doing the right sort of work. If it is a pattern in your life then I would go to the foot of the cross.

Being anxious can be a reaction built upon a foundation other then the Lord Jesus.
For instance, as a child we can learn a pattern where faith was not in place but rather fear of man was established. The Lord can remove these and you are then able to place the Lord’s promises in their stead.

The anxiety is not work related. I would like to be working, but I currently cannot work. The anxiety has been a pattern in my life. It absolutely does have roots in childhood, it is a spiritual problem as you described. I’m not sure what exactly you mean about going to the foot of the cross? I have asked the Lord to remove it, I offer it daily and yet the problem persists. Therefore I have concluded that the Lord wishes me to accept the pain of it for now, I just want to listen to some recordings of prayers and try to do deep breathing to calm myself until the Lord removes it, which hopefully will be soon. I thought of just offering it to him, asking him to take it away, and then trying to reorient my mind to something else. Thanks for responding and God bless.
