Worrying is something that I have dealt with to the point I've made myself sick. Anxiety creeps in, just like the cruel, ugly disease that it is and burdens my heart. We get so consumed with our daily life. Financial problems, relationship problems and emotional problems, seem to get the best of us. But as a child of God, I don't want to let fear consume my heart any longer. The best way you can overcome panic is with prayer. Here are 15 Bible verses to help soothe your anxious heart.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."
