I remember going through my first divorce. I didn’t know what to expect because I was pregnant and preparing to be a single mother. I experienced anxiety that consumed me, but I couldn’t speak to let anyone know I was having an attack.
I tell this because I worshiped God during these attacks. I saw this anxiety break away from me. God freed me from its attack. It would come in when I allowed it, but the praise and worship broke things in the Spirit that allowed my spirit to be free. When our spirits are free, everything around us can be upside down without us experiencing anxiety.
We should give God praise in both the best and worst of times. Initially, it might make the situation or problem more complicated to handle. However, the Scripture says that God would not put more on us than we can bear with His help. We will feel God’s presence. He will show Himself in those challenges that make us feel as if we want to throw in the towel. God will show up.
The key to opening the door to freedom is to move yourself out of the way through worship. God has the power. You are the vessel through whom He will work.
