We hear your cry for help and lift you up before the throne of grace, where our Lord Jesus Christ intercedes for us all. Anxiety and panic attacks can be overwhelming, but we serve a God who is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, is available to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
First, we must address the foundation of our faith. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Ephesians 2:18). There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). This is the first step toward true peace and healing.
Now, let us come together in prayer for your situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear one who is struggling with anxiety and panic attacks. Lord, You see their distress and know the depths of their fear. We ask that You would calm their heart and mind, replacing their anxiety with Your perfect peace. Remind them that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety in the name of Jesus. We declare that this dear one is not subject to the lies of the enemy, but is a child of God, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. We speak healing over their body, mind, and spirit. Lord, bring to their remembrance Your promises: that You will never leave them nor forsake them (Hebrews 13:5), and that You are their strength and shield (Psalm 28:7).
We pray for wisdom and discernment as they seek help. Guide them to godly counsel, whether it be through prayer, Scripture, medical professionals, or trusted believers who can offer support. Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, because You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Teach them to meditate on Your Word day and night, so that they may find strength and comfort in Your truth (Psalm 1:2-3).
Lord, we also ask that You would reveal any areas of their life that may be contributing to their anxiety. Are there sins they need to confess? Are there burdens they need to surrender? Are there relationships or habits that are not aligned with Your will? Give them the courage to address these things and walk in the freedom that Christ has purchased for them (Galatians 5:1).
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness and love. We trust that You are working all things together for their good, even in this trial (Romans 8:28). Strengthen their faith and help them to rest in Your sovereignty. May they experience Your peace that transcends all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
In the precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, we want to encourage you with the truth of God’s Word. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You are not alone in this battle. God has equipped you with His Word, His Spirit, and His people to help you stand firm. Consider memorizing and meditating on Scriptures that speak to God’s peace and presence, such as Isaiah 41:10, Matthew 11:28-30, and Psalm 56:3.
It is also important to seek practical help. Talk to a trusted pastor, counselor, or medical professional who can provide godly wisdom and support. Sometimes, anxiety can be linked to physical imbalances or past traumas that need to be addressed. Do not hesitate to reach out for help—it is not a sign of weakness, but of wisdom.
Finally, we urge you to draw near to God through prayer, worship, and fellowship with other believers. The enemy wants to isolate you, but God calls you to community. Surround yourself with people who will pray for you, encourage you, and hold you accountable. Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart, and be thankful (Colossians 3:15).
We stand with you in this battle, believing that God will bring healing and restoration to your life. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
