A letter to a fellow anxiety sufferer

where is God when panic attacksFriend, there is so much I would like to be able to tell you.

It sounds like you are striving so hard to make everything work out the way you think it “should” Trying to please other people, to meet their expectations as well as your own. On top of all that we add the “shoulds” of how we are supposed to live the right kind of Christian life; pray more, serve more, read the bible more, give more, be patient, kind, loving and forgiving all the time.
