Battling extreme anxiety?

 Romans 8:5-6 "Those who live according to the sinful nature have their  minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;".  Life and peace is what I want, so therefore I will do my best today, to have my mind set on being in unity with the Spirit.   Yesterday, I experienced extreme anxiety.   It was so devastating that I am still pondering it today.  What I have come up with is I was pursuing things not of Gods will for me.    I tell people, “Fallow the peace of God”.     When I am reading the Bible and making my life choices based on His Word, I have peace even when things are difficult.    When I am choosing to do my own way without reverence for Christ I am filled with anxiety.      Today, is you don’t have peace  in your heart, ask yourself, “What is my part in this?”   For me my lack of peace always comes when I am pursuing personal pleasure over God’s will.   I also am pondering that I get extremely anxious when I am trying to control something out of my control.  This is me thinking my way is better than God‘s way. God grant me the serenity to accept the things. I cannot change the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
