Anxiety and Healing





Contact Christian Anxiety

When we experience anxiety we feel uncomfortable or even terrified, so can we be healed from anxiety, well anxiety is actually a part of us, in other words we are meant to be anxious to a degree in order for us to stay safe, it wouldn’t do to have no fear at all, can you imagine what would happen, people would enter into dangerous situations without a care, someone could walk across a road without the slightest worry about being run over, that of course would not stop them actually being run over.

We only need to reduce our anxiety to a level where it stops interfering with our daily living, this is called de sensitisation, our fear system has become so sensitised that we experience anxiety at a moment’s notice. So do we need healing? Well we need to find some peace and be able to relax and not get agitated or fearful at those levels that are inappropriate.

I would like to emphasise the importance of seeing a medical expert in the first instance, It is also important to find out what you can about anxiety and we at Christian Anxiety attempt to keep this website up to date with useful information to help people recover from anxiety and its associated disorders.

Christians believe that people can be healed through prayer, although people who are prayed for may not be healed and that is something that Christians except, we are not God and we sometimes just don’t understand Gods wisdom, what we do understand is that God loves us and has the best intentions for us.

If you would like someone to pray for you, you can post a message in the message room here on the web, and we will pray for you, or you can find Christians from your church who would love to pray for healing for you. You can also pray yourself for healing. Here is a short payer of healing, but feel free to pray your own prayer, he is your father after all.

A simple prayer:

Dear Lord, I need you now because I am full of stress and anxiety. Thank you for your word that brings comfort, please take my heavy burdens. I receive your gift of peace of mind and heart. Thank you that I can lie down tonight in peace and sleep. I am not afraid because you are always with me. Please help to heal me Lord so that I might find peace. Amen

Jesus said:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, Luke 4:18

Jesus said:
And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Mathiew 8:3

A simple prayer:

Dear Jesus, I thank you and put my trust in you. Please come into my life. I know that you will always be at my side even when I am at my most anxious; I know that you will never let me down. Forgive me for the times that I have disappointed you. Guide me and teach me, fill me with your power, I pray for healing and peace in the love and assurance that you died and rose again. amen.
