How do I defeat anxiety?
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 5:7
7 Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you.
Matthew 6:25-27
25 Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment? 26 Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they? 27 And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?
Catholic view (generated):
Prayer, trust in God's providence, and seeking support from a spiritual director or therapist can help alleviate anxiety and bring peace. Embracing a life of faith, hope, and love can provide a foundation for overcoming anxiety. Remember that God never abandons us, even in our moments of greatest fear or worry.
