In this episode of The Hope + Help Project, Christine Chappell interviews author/speaker Laura Fleetwood on the topic of panic and anxiety recovery. Laura shares details about her personal struggle with anxiety, what recovery has looked like for her, as well as the various ways God has ministered to her as she has battled on-and-off seasons of disruptive anxiety in her life. She also explains how panic and anxiety manifests itself in her physical body, and gives listeners a practical acronym designed to help us turn more quickly to Christ and his body when panic strikes.
If you read the whole chapter of Psalm 46, you see "Be still and know that I am God," is not said in this beautiful setting where the sun is shining, and the flowers are there, and you can be still sitting on a hammock. No, if you read that chapter, the mountains are falling into the sea and the earth is quaking—and in the midst of that chaos, the Lord says, "Be still, and know that I am God."– Laura Fleetwood
