Anxiety spiritual battle?

Question

Do you think anxiety is a spiritual battle? Scientifically I know it’s a chemical imbalance, religious wise I’ve heard it’s a spiritual battle just wanted to get your opinions. I’ve struggled with anxiety since I was 15, I’m 23 now. There’s no “cure” for anxiety BUT idk if it’s a “coincidence” but when I got help through religion I was told I had a spirit if fear. They prayed over me, no kidding I was anxiety free, I was able to do EVERYTHING! I was able to eat out, go to concerts, meet people, finish school, basically live a normal life! But, I started distancing myself from God & I fell back into a hole. I’m struggling again & I find it so hard to look for him, I never thought I was going to be back in this hell hole because after everything I experienced by his side & I know I am to blame. I’ve tried therapy & it’s not the same as the peace he brought me... and to them there’s no cure. What is your opinion in this?

Answer

I think it certainly can be. 
I think lots of things can be all mixed up in anxiety. 
The most frequent command in the Bible is “fear not.” And I think it’s not because God is super controlling and mean, but because he’s constantly trying to teach us to just rest in Him. We forget and we can be stubborn. And then sometimes our bodies do their own thing. 
But do no be afraid, he’s always there. I have been helped by going to desiringgod.org and reading about hope and anxiety

Answer

I would have to disagree. Anxiety can happen to the most spiritual person, & they’d still need help outside of “religion”. There’s a lot of confusion about mental health in the Christian community. NOT everything is a spiritual battle. 
I would recommend seeing a professional who can properly diagnose your anxiety (if you haven’t already).
I do believe a deep connection with God can lessen the burdens of anxiety. Everyone has fears, that’s not something you can wipe away. 
You have to choose every morning what attitude you will take on during the day. When anxiety creeps up practice conscience breathing & pray.

Answer

I've been going through the same thing. I know straying away from the Lord has played a major role in feeeling like the world has consumed me. I'm on the path back to him and when I feel that anxiety or any ill motion I just ask God to keep me, help me, guide me. Just calling on the name Jesus soothes my soul. I'm praying for you and wishing you a breakthrough and all the best.🙏🏾🙌🏾

Answer

We are anxious because we are not trusting God in those moments. You can’t be fearful and have faith at the same time.
But God understands our failings that’s why the Bible is filled with words like ‘Fear not’ ‘Do not be afraid’
When we are anxious we need to go back to God’s promises and truths.
Don’t neglect Gods words. 
Pray when you feel a flare up
Play good music that speaks of Gods truths
Be immersed in the truth and the devil won’t be able to get an opening to keep you anxious

Answer

I definitely think it can be spiritual. The Bible teaches us to cast our anxieties on Him, which I know is easier said than done, but sometimes you just gotta say it out loud, over and over because your words have power. ❤️

Answer

Can you go back to the same church and be prayed over again?

Answer

Yes it is a spiritual battle. Begin to pray against it and fast. God will free your mind again.
