We encounter events and circumstances in our daily lives that make us worry and anxiety.
If anxiety and worry are not treated, they can gradually worsen until constant terror and fear accompany them.
Even though we may be adept at covering it up and disguising it, anxious sensations are destructive from the inside out.
Satan will use worry to prevent you from living the life God has planned for you, from difficulty focusing on tasks to panic attacks.
By praying and putting our anxieties on God, we can combat anxiousness.
