When Fear Took Over

from Only For A Season Hosted by Mel Cruzado

In 1998, fear took over my life. A serious health warning triggered anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. I struggled to sleep, think clearly, work, or enjoy the things around me. What began as fear soon became a storm that affected every part of my life. In this episode, I share the personal testimony I recently gave to a small group of men. I talk about the people God placed in my path, including a mailman named Arvin who stopped, prayed for me, and helped me go back to the basics of who I was in Christ and who God truly was. The storm did not disappear overnight, but God began helping me see that He was still there in the middle of it. This is a story about fear, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, prayer, friendship, and the power of one person being willing to stand in the gap. Whatever season you are facing, you do not have to walk through it alone.
