We are deeply concerned to hear about the severe panic attack you are experiencing, especially with the added distress of trouble breathing. First and foremost, we urge you to seek immediate medical attention. Your health and safety are of utmost importance, and professional help can provide the care you need in this moment.
In the midst of this storm, we want to remind you that God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Even when your body and mind feel overwhelmed, He is holding you and sees your pain. We come before Him now, lifting you up in prayer.
Father God, we cry out to You on behalf of our dear brother/sister who is suffering through this severe panic attack. Lord, You know the depths of their fear and the weight of their distress. We ask that You would calm their mind and body, bringing peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Ease their breathing, Lord, and let them feel Your presence like a gentle whisper in the chaos. Surround them with Your healing power and give them the strength to reach out for the help they need.
We rebuke the spirit of fear that is gripping them, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We declare that this attack will not have dominion over them, and we speak Your peace over their life. Guide the hands of the medical professionals who will assist them, and let Your comfort fill their heart as they wait for relief.
If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus Christ, we want to gently share that He is the only One who can bring true and lasting peace to your soul. The Bible tells us, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). Jesus came to carry our burdens, heal our wounds, and set us free from the chains of fear and anxiety. If you would like to invite Him into your life, you can pray a simple prayer like this:
"Lord Jesus, I need You. I believe You died for my sins and rose again. I ask You to come into my heart and be my Savior. Forgive me for my sins, and help me to follow You. I give my life to You. Amen."
No matter what you are facing, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). He is the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is through Him that we have access to the Father. If you have already given your life to Christ, hold fast to His promises and lean on Him in this moment.
We encourage you to reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or pastor who can pray with you and support you through this time. You are not alone, and God has placed people in your life who care deeply for you. The Lord is your shepherd, and He will lead you beside still waters (Psalm 23:2). Trust in Him, and let His peace guard your heart and mind.
