I am a Christian. I serve in church and I also work as my regular job in ministry. I use to feel ashamed or too whatever to tell others about the panic/anxiety until I hear so many other Christians tell me they too suffer from it. I am constantly reminding myself that fear is fear, and fear is not from God because He does not give us that. There is a scripture that I always quote before I go to sleep at night and I actually keep it posted next to my bed: Proverbs 3:25 "DO NOT BE AFRAID OF SUDDEN FEAR WHEN IT COMES, the Lord is your confidence and will not let you be taken"
And when it is really bad...I say this one aloud: "I shall NOT die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord." Psalm 118. Because when I do get over this, and I WILL!!! I am going to shout it from the rooftops!
