Anxiety Isn’t You—It’s a Signal
Send us a text
Have you ever felt anxiety hit your body first—tight chest, racing thoughts, that “something’s wrong” feeling—before you could even explain why? In today’s episode of The Self-Love Journaling With God Podcast, we’re gently reframing anxiety: it’s not your identity… It’s a signal. Together, we’ll decode what your anxiety may be trying to protect you from and learn how to respond with compassion—with God.
You’ll hear a faith-rooted, practical perspective that blends Scripture and psychology, plus a simple step-by-step journaling flow to help you move from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What do I need right now?” We’ll also anchor in God’s Word with calming verses and one small action step you can take today to support your nervous system and your heart.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why anxiety shows up (and what it’s really trying to tell you)
- How God responds to overwhelm with gentleness (Elijah’s story)
- A “rejoice or adjust” journaling check-in—without shame
- Scripture anchors to steady your mind and soothe your body
- One small, doable step to respond with compassion
Anchor Story: Elijah’s overwhelmed moment — 1 Kings 19:4–13
Scripture anchors: Psalm 34:18, 1 Peter 5:7, Isaiah 41:10, Philippians 4:6–7
