Please pray for me I'm having severe panic attacks

[Anonymous]

Dear brothers and sisters,

I was tempted by some people around me to try cannabis, I smoked not so much and just once which manifested as the scariest thing I ever experienced. I thought I'd die and heart would stop. It was the first time in my life I learned what a panic attack was. Ever since I had 2-4 more attacks, mostly triggered by stress (arguments from people doing me dirty) or caffeine and sometimes vaping. (I plan to quit vaping but I want to be able to have coffee again.) Anyways I was all fine until 5 days ago. For a whole month it was fine. It was just the odd dizziness and light headedness and chest tightness and feeling short of breath. But I had a huge blow up in public on public transport, full on tears and paranoia for no reason. I suspect the weed unlocked my anxiety as Dr said. Said to see a therapist. But i have no money for one. I feel so scared and alone, i feel like i'm going to lose myself and go crazy, sometimes i think God i feel tortured, my mind and body hang on still but why if i am dysfunctional and can't even complete one daily task. All i do is overwork myself with my jobs and then unload with TV and i am lonely with minimal people around me. I had 3 panic attacks in 3 days in a row few days ago, most intense and most frequent i ever had and for no reason after all was well for a month. i repented and deeply apologised to the Lord and I am embarassed I let myself try the weed under persuasion as I was very stressed and used it as a vice. Now i suffer. I am pathetic. I just want to be normal again. I prayed to God and I hope he hears my prayer. No one took my condition serious, only very few. I felt betrayed and unsupported. I also live not with family, unlike most people i know. I feel like I'm disconnected from myself, dizzy, brain fog, intolerance to hot air flow or high temperature of the room, sometimes my heart beats too slow sometimes too fast and sometimes i can't feel it. I'm like a mad person constantly checking my pulse, i'm regressing to old activities to calm myself down, i suffer for 5 days with no coffee and coming off niccotine. It's awful, can't enjoy my holiday which I'm on right now. I feel like I am a hypochondriac rn after this fear, I fear I have Depersonalization and derealization as everything feels so far away and like I don't exist. I feel i might have chronic fatigue syndrome from the insomnia of the anxiety at night. I also fear dying. Because I thought I could have back then. I wanna not associate coffee or vapes with that scary experience either, in the future and be scared to consume it due to the current condition aka i dont wanna mentally condition myself to be scared of such normal things when I get better. I just want to be alright. I also think I might have PTSD or anxiety/panic disorder. or maybe i don't and am just trying to find logic in this. maybe all it is is just anxiety unlocked by the weed and an unknown trigger. the heart palpitations are so scary especially when they get too too fast. please help me.

I just wanna be fully functioning as before. to have relationships. to be able to give birth. exercise. do things that a increased heart rate can handle.

Pls brothers and sisters pray I am fully healed in Christ Jesus' name and pray I can stop giving my family grief and worry, that I can look after them than have to be looked after (my parents are elderly) and may I be able to enjoy my holiday and do every leisurely AND productive activity i have in mind on my daily task list. may i have energy to do life and not feel tired, to be able to sleep and not scared to sleep or die, to stop checking my body all the time and look normal outwardly too. Pls pray for me and in return may blessings be bestowed on you, in Jesus' name. Thank you.

Let us pray for you, dear brother or sister, and address the issues you are facing. We are reminded in 1 Peter 5:7, "casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." God cares about your anxieties and wants to help you through this difficult time.

Firstly, we must acknowledge that the use of cannabis is not recommended for Christians. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, "Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." We are called to honor God with our bodies and minds, and substance use can harm both. We are glad to hear that you have repented from this action. Remember Romans 8:1, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."

Regarding your anxiety and panic attacks, God commands us in Philippians 4:6-7, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." We encourage you to continue praying and petitioning God for healing and peace.

In addition, you mentioned being tempted and persuaded by others to try cannabis. Remember the words of Proverbs 1:10, "My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent." It is important to surround yourself with godly influences and avoid those who may lead you astray. The devil uses idol influences to tempt and pervert God's people.

If you are having anxiety and panic attacks caused by cannabis use or other substances, that is the side effect of disobeying God's word. That is a cause and effect outcome from disobeying Him and trying to find fulfillment outside of Jesus Christ. That can cause Him to remove his hedge of protection around us and allow us to be attacked by the devil. That is discipline to encourage us to repent and run to Jesus Christ. But you are already repented and we must now claim his blood to cover your sins, disobedience, mistakes, and to appropriate the blessings and protections of God. Rejection of God is rejection of reality, and reality will find you.

Moving forward, we encourage you to seek God's will for your life and to pursue righteousness. Remember that God has a plan and a purpose for you, and He wants to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11-13 says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You shall seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart."

We also encourage you to seek community among fellow believers. It is important to have a support system of brothers and sisters in Christ who can encourage you and hold you accountable. Hebrews 10:24-25 says, "Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."

Lastly, we pray that God will heal you both physically and mentally, and that He will give you the strength and courage to overcome these struggles. We pray that He will guide you and provide for you, and that He will give you peace and comfort in the midst of this trial.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our brother/sister in Christ who is struggling with anxiety and panic attacks. We ask that You would heal them completely, in body and in mind, and that You would give them the strength and courage to overcome these struggles. We pray that You would guide them and provide for them, and that You would give them peace and comfort in the midst of this trial. We also pray that You would help them to seek Your will for their life and to pursue righteousness, and that You would surround them with a community of believers who can support and encourage them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're here for you, dear friend. We know it's tough, but remember, God is always by your side. Let's claim Psalm 34:18 together, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He sees your struggle, and He's right there with you.

Let's also claim Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul." Jesus understands your anxiety and panic attacks. He wants to give you rest and peace.

We're praying for you, that God will heal you, give you strength, and fill you with His peace. We're also praying that you'll find the support you need, both from professionals and from your community of believers. You're not alone in this. We're here for you, and so is God. Keep trusting in Him, one day at a time. You can do this, with God by your side. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[usha rani]

Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[PaliggenesiosThos]

Jesus the Lord preserve the life from the grips of sin, extend the injured life to what was destined prior. You count every tear in the bottle, mindful of how much stress that the chosen here cried out for Your succor. That is why you walked on earth, died without your people and God (*in that moment) and rose back to life for deliverance. You patched back up the material world to each cell revivifying them as if nothing wrong happened. You converted the hardest, calcified heart to hear reason to do what was right thereafter for people to come loose. Amen.

 

[Cinu]

Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
