Roots of Fear, Panic Attack

We need to replace  thoughts of fear with godly thoughts in our minds. All of us need to do this. In many situations we are filled with fear and doubt inside. We need to overcome that with the Word of God. 

There is a root for every fear. It is said that from the age of 0-7 years, the root of fear is formed inside a child. And this fear grows and remains in a person all through his life. Added to this we have the fears of the world that we face in different stages of our life. 

Illustration : Pastor Finny had come across a woman who recently came to church; she had the fear of getting on a bus. She did not have a problem travelling by car or train but she would never get on a bus. One day when they were all praying together, a woman told Pastor Finny that the Lord showed her the root of the fear inside the other woman. 
The fear rooted in her when she was just 4 years old. One day when she was travelling with her mother on the bus, she vomited and the bus had to be pulled up and everyone on the bus blamed her for it. It left a scar inside her and ever since she was afraid of getting on the bus. 

They all prayed over her and she overcame her fear and was delivered. 

We often treat the symptoms but the Holy Spirit treats the root of the fear. 

When the Lord shows you the root cause of the fear that you have, sit in the presence of God and pray over it. He will help you overcome that fear in your life.

An exercise that you can do when fear suddenly develops inside of you is, take deep breaths and let it out. This brings your heartbeat back on track and you become relaxed. This helps in bringing your body back under control. 

It is always good to share your fears with someone close to you. Sharing will greatly help you relax and be calm. 

As believers, all of us need to speak the word of God out boldly over our fears.

Let's look at another disorder under anxiety disorder, that is panic disorder.
It is an intense fear. It creates a sudden terrified environment. The symptoms on the body are adverse such as shaking, sweating, cold hands etc. There is the possibility that people experiencing severe panic attacks can even die. 

Summary
In the midst of all the fear and anxiety, cling on to Jesus and you will experience a peace that surpasses all understanding. When the disciples were on the boat with Jesus and the waves and wind was against them, Jesus was always there. He never left them. He calmed the sea and the storm. In the same way he is mighty to calm the storms in your life.
