Comments on: Surrendering Control – Letting Go and Letting God http://season.org/surrendering-control-letting-go-and-letting-god/ Finding hope from fear, depression, anxiety and panic attacks. Sat, 24 Jul 2010 18:32:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Russ http://season.org/surrendering-control-letting-go-and-letting-god/comment-page-1/#comment-8987 Russ Sat, 26 Dec 2009 15:03:49 +0000 http://season.org/?p=461#comment-8987 Melanie, thanks for posting. This lie from the enemy is so strong and so prevalent, but it's just not true. God is not punishing us. The Bible says that all of our punishment was put on Christ, and that it pleased God to afflict him so that we can be free from all of the punishment we deserve. For me, it took time to realize that God was on my side, fighting for me, helping me, strengthening me to win this battle. And when I realized that, there was great strength and peace knowing that God is for me, not against me. I want you to know the same--God is fighting for you, to help you, strengthen you and give you victory! Melanie, thanks for posting.

I had the same thought as Vanessa, infact I was so grateful someone asked that question. I had a difficult Christmas and truly thought God was punishing me from past sins. My boyfriend has severe ptsd, nightmares, and depression and anxiety. He recently returned from Afghanistan and 3 days ago we have had to post-pone our wedding because of it:( Please pray for us. Thank you, Melanie Hi, I googled devotions for depression and anxiety and I came accross this. I had the same thought as Vanessa, infact I was so grateful someone asked that question.

That's a lie from the devil. All of our punishment, according to the Bible, has been taken care of through Jesus on the cross. There is no longer any punishment for those who are "in Christ". You are free from that. Now, it may feel like punishiment, but that's not the truth. The truth is that you are free. You can beat this! I know you can. I've been free now almost 10 years, and I no longer experience panic attacks, nor even fear them. They are a thing of the past, and life is good! You can experience the same thing. Freedom is possible. It's God's desire for you. He wants you to live in peace, and hope and joy. You've got to address the condition in all three areas of your life: body, soul and spirit. I posted <a href="http://season.org/information/finding-hope/" rel="nofollow">some information on my website</a> about how to bring healing to these three areas. It's a great start. And, keep me posted on how it's going. Hello Vanessa, I want to encourage you that panic is not punishment from God. That’s a lie from the devil.

There have been many days and nights that I have prayed for god to rid me from this disorder. Why cant I get rid of this panic and enjoy my life?

I am at a point that I know I cannot control a certain situation, but the humanly side of me wants to. I googled "scriptures fro letting go of things you can't control" and ended up here. Thank you and I know it will be a long road to completely turning it over to God, but through your site I believe that I can and one day it will be second nature. I am hoping that day will be soon and that the devil won't be able to control me with fear, worry and anxiety anymore. How I have been feeling lately is not a good way to be feeling and I pray daily that God will give me the strength and wisdom to give it to him and a feeling of peace will wash over me. Thanks again!
