Fear and anxiety are two of the enemy’s favorite weapons—and for a good reason. They work. Even believers—those who know the truth—can find themselves crushed under the weight of “what ifs” and worst-case scenarios. The enemy doesn’t have to destroy your life to win—he just has to convince you that it’s already falling apart.
I’ll never forget the night I sat on the bathroom floor, knees pulled to my chest, trying to breathe through what felt like a panic attack. My faith was strong—or so I thought. But fear had crept in slowly, whispering things like, “You’re not enough,” “God has forgotten you,” and the loudest lie of all: “You’re all alone.”
That night, I didn’t pray a fancy prayer. I just whispered, “Jesus, help me.” And He did. Not by snapping His fingers and fixing everything, but by sitting with me in the pain. Little by little, His Word started fighting back the lies. “I will never leave you.” “I have plans to give you hope.” “You are mine.”
The enemy wanted me stuck in that bathroom, stuck in my fear, stuck in my head. But God met me there—and walked me out.
If fear and anxiety have been pressing in on you, know this: they are not your identity. They are not your future. And they are not from God. The Bible says, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
The enemy wants you frozen. God wants you free.
So even if all you can whisper today is, “Jesus, help me,” that’s enough.
He hears you. And He’s not going anywhere.
