Having panic attacks
2 Tim. 1:2
To Timothy, my dearly beloved son:
[Paul is writing to a younger man who even though he had
a spiritual heritage from parents and grandparents who lived out their faith before him, and he
himself was a strong, determined person - still had personal weaknesses that tended
him TO PANIC and sometimes be overwhelmed with fear or anxiety]
GRACE, [what
God gives us that we do not deserve - the forgiveness of sins and the lifting
of the guilt of life]
MERCY, [what God withholds that we do deserve – that keeps us from getting all that could
come]
and PEACE, [that inner sense of well-being when realizing that, no matter how dark it may
look, there will be a way through the trial]
from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord! [knowing that
inner calm can only come from the Divine]
----------------------
Pray the Word:
Pray the Word:
Lord, we needed this strong reminder that WE AREN’T
SUFFICIENT WITHIN OURSELVES TO AVOID PANICKING when we’re in the middle of
a trial - our inner calm will only come from Your divine GRACE, MERCY
and PEACE that solidifies our trust that You are in charge; that our circumstances are of Your
permitting; that You are going to see us through; and it will come out to
blessings.
