Anxiety can impact us in a deep way, especially when it revolves around something incredibly important to us, like when someone we love is hurting, or when we are going through a trial of our own.
And in some cases, anxiety becomes more severe. We can’t shake the worries and fears, and it actually begins to interfere with daily living.
· We stop driving because we’re worried about having an accident.
· We stop going to church or events or programs because we’re uneasy around groups of people.
· We stop walking into stores and order everything online because we’re afraid about potential violence.
There are a lot of great ways to manage or cope with your anxiety, and we don’t have time to cover all of them today, but journaling is one of them.
Here’s a five-minute journaling session for anxiety that will help you name what is going on inside of you and see how God is inviting you to respond.
