All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Worrying & Anxiety

Hello I have issue with dealing with depression & anxiety/worry sometimes. It usually starts if i Know I will have a stressful week at school (I am a college student) where I have a lot of things to do or an upcoming test.

I can worry about it to where it becomes unhealthy & then in the past this has lead to bad test (bombing) performance or not being able to focus in Class due to focusing on the worrying or anxiety on things.

I was wondering if there was some good advice or encouragement on this I have tried to memorize & review scriptures such that where it says in the Bible be anxious for nothing.

It's hard for me not to worry sometimes (not all the time) especially if it's something important /life decision that is very important at that time.

I sometimes don't notice myself worrying about things as sometimes it can become a second nature to me at times ( Just sometimes not all the time) and some people will use the catch phrase ( like my parents) when talking to me "Don't give yourself gray hair" or similar catch phrase.

I know the catch phrases are there but s to me the catch phases & metaphors are not very helpful & don't mean a lot to me.

Mitcherator,

Here are a view scripture that might help you 1Peter 5:7 Jesus said to cast all not some of your worries to him.

Stay in Prayer.

Phillippians 4:6-7 Jesus has said Do not worry about anything but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks.

Phillippians 4:19 My God will use his wonderful riches in in Christ Jesus to fulfill your needs. Just continue to pray in Jesus name. Mary Doris

i guess i only need to emphasize what others have said but i didn't know that the scripture in Philipians 4:6-7 can come to life until i prayed it when i had trouble with worry, bitterness and pain, and i just akse the \lord to give me peace and it's just soo peaceful, people around you will never understand what got into you, so cast all your cares to the Lord for He minds about you!!!!!!!
