If you are going through a season of worry, anxiety, fear, sorrow, or unrest in your life - you are not alone. Many people, myself included, are experiencing this right now; but this morning when my body woke me up at 5 am because I was too anxious to sleep, instead of continuing to my anxiety attack by trying to force it down, I cracked open my Bible.

In those silent hours of the morning before dawn, I experienced an overwhelming feeling of serenity for having just woken up due to an anxiety attack in my sleep. I believe there is strength in numbers and why not have your one other be God when you’re feeling lost or alone? I have compiled a list of 12 Bible verses you can turn to if you, too, are living through pain, anxiety, insecurity - whatever it may be. Ha, get it? 12? Because of the 12 disciples? Well, just check out the list:
