Practical keys to overcoming anxiety


Blurred surroundings. Breathless feeling. Rapid heartbeats. 100000 thoughts running across your mind. Ever felt that way? Well, I was that person. I’m gonna share some practical steps to overcome this daily battle we may face. 

1. Let Go & Let God

2. Recognize what you can’t control and accept it (this is tough, I know)

3. "If its big enough to worry about, its big enough to pray about" SO PRAY!

4. Shut the door, speak to yourself (sounds crazy but this helps)

5. Do not bottle up ill emotions, share it with your confidant or your trusted friends.

6. Stop thinking of what's wrong with you and start thinking of what's right with you!

7. Write post-its or a daily journal of your joyful times in the past, so that in the time of need, you can revisit them and bring to remembrance of how joyful you can be

8. MEDITATE on God's Word and verses on peace! Here are some verses you can refer to:


'In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.' 
- Psalms 94:19 (NKJV)


'Whenever my busy thoughts were out of control, the soothing comfort of your presence calmed me down and overwhelmed me with delight.' 
- Psalms 94:19 (TPT)


'You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.'

Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV)

'“I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous! '

John 14:27 (NKJV)

'Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing 
gratitude. 
Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ. '

Philippians 4:6-7 (TPT)

These verses helped me during times of anxiety and panic attacks. God's Word brought me peace in my mind. The battle is always in the mind, God's Word targets the mind and becomes effective as we continue to meditate on these verses and many more.

Radical Grace

In this day and age, we see the rapidly growing prejudicial mindset against the Grace of God that has been nurtured by many, unintentionally or intentionally. Phrases like “Grace is a license to sin,” or “Grace produces licentiousness” is being thrown around recklessly. These rumors and statements from even sincere believers are being taken into consideration by new converts or new believers which has led to a constant attack on God’s amazing & pure Grace and has given the devil a footstool to put up fences around this amazing truth in the Christian community.  What is Grace? Grace is unmerited, unearned undeserved favor of God. Grace is God extending His lovingkindness despite your imperfections,failures or flaws and to produce strength within you to overcome all adversities in life. Grace is the inexhaustible supply of God’s goodness according to Thayer’s Greek Lexicon.Grace when encountered upon, will never leave you the same way you were before, God’s Grace is the only way ...

Inception of Grace

 Hi all, Arvinth here. I'll be using this platform to share my thoughts on faith, religion, God and  many more topics. For a long time, I was finding a way to put my thoughts out there. It's my passion to see people grow through words of encouragement and to make a positive impact on the society. It is my desire to see individuals break out of addictions, live free of depression, oppression and suicidal thoughts. I'll be taking a Christ-centred approach to tackle these issues we face in our everyday lives. I will be also sharing my thoughts on theological concepts in regards to the Word of God. I pray, this blog will be saturated with Grace and Truth that will displace every form of condemnation, accusation or guilt from your heart and place Jesus and the love of God on the throne of your hearts. The world is running for answers, solutions, formulas, step-by-step guided practices to attain peace, joy, contentment or even fulfilment but I believe, the question we should be ...
