246.0 Frozen by Fear? How to Experience Freedom in God When Anxiety Overwhelms.

🎧 Show Notes

Anxiety can be overwhelming — it paralyzes our actions, steals our peace, and convinces us of lies about our future. In this raw episode, I share the fear-filled season when my husband Jeff faced life-threatening health issues and how anxiety tried to control me. From sleepless nights and “worst-case” thinking to tears in church, I share what it looks like to wrestle with anxiety as a believer.

But more importantly, I share how God met us there. Through His Word, through prayer, through wise counsel, and through the daily practice of surrender, fear began to loosen its grip. If you’re walking through overwhelming anxiety, this episode will remind you: God is with you in the fear, and you can take back your thoughts with His truth.

Scripture Highlights:

  • “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7
  • “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord.” — Isaiah 55:8
  • “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.” — Psalm 56:3

    • Key Takeaways:

    • Anxiety often looks like fear of “what’s next,” fueled by irrational, fatalistic thoughts.
    • It can affect every part of life — eating, sleeping, worshipping, even leaving the house.
    • God’s Word is the only true weapon against fear.
    • Wise counsel and community can help re-anchor your heart to God’s truth.
    • Healing is not “one and done” — it’s a daily practice of choosing faith over fear.

      • Action Step:

      This week, pay attention to your thoughts. Notice when fear starts spiraling. Don’t let those thoughts grow. Instead, combat them with God’s Word — out loud if you need to. Replace lies with truth and watch peace take root where anxiety once ruled.
