Have you struggled with panic attacks? I did. The journey to freedom from panic attacks has been a long one. It takes time, patience, and putting faith into practice.
I am honored to share my journey to freedom from panic attacks at KellyRBaker.com today.
My Journey to Freedom from Panic Attacks
My journey to freedom from panic attacks began with the decision to cry out to God for healing and then to put my trust and hope in His Word and promises. God has been faithful. He has brought me to the other side of the raging sea, transformed, humbled, and ready to begin a new chapter.
I have learned so many valuable lessons on this journey to freedom I want to share with you. The most important truth to lean on for all who struggle with panic attacks is that what is not possible for us is possible with God. He is able and willing to set us free, to heal, and to give us peace. Surrendered in God’s hands our suffering is not in vain. It is a door to hope and restoration.
Below is a sneak peek and I hope you will head over to KellyRBaker.com to read the rest and learn more about the steps leading to freedom from panic attacks.
Be sure to pin me for later!
When I experienced panic attacks for the first time, I felt I was dying because of the complete loss of control over my reactions. The fear of death, the terror of losing control, and the fear of the next panic attack are the deadly companions of this queen of terrors – the panic attack. How can you gain freedom from panic attacks? In Christ, God gives us hope and a path to freedom and healing.
Panic Attacks – Identifying the Monster
I have experienced several intensive panic attacks in the summer of 2014. Not knowing what the problem was, added additional fuel to the panic attacks. I cried to the Lord in utter desperation and one day the phrase “panic attack” came to my mind. A doctor later confirmed this diagnosis. Now I knew who the hidden monster was. Naming and identifying my tormentor brought the first measure of freedom.
