Anxiety and the lds.org

I'll admit it. I'm struggling with anxiety problems again. So this morning, I went to www.lds.org and typed "anxiety attack" in the search engine.

Here is what I found in an article by Nancy M. Christensen, "My Personal Parable for Peace", Ensign, July 2006"

The door was locked. I caught up with them, slid my key into the lock, and tried to turn the handle, but the boys were each holding it so tightly that I could not turn the key.

The words “If you would just let go for a minute, I could turn the key and let you in” tumbled out of my mouth. Almost immediately, my sons relaxed their grip. I turned the key, and we were inside the house.

As I said those words, an image popped into my mind. I imagined the Savior standing next to me, repeating my own words back to me: “If you would just let go for a minute, I could turn the key for you. Let go. Let me help.”

I had my answer. I realized that by letting go of the fear and worry, I could open myself up to the love of the Savior. My fears may or may not materialize, but when I trust in the Lord, somehow things work out for the best.

As I let go of my worries and put my trust in the Savior, I have gained a testimony that through the Atonement, our most difficult burdens can be lifted.

I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father and a Savior that love us enough to help us through all our infirmities. I am also grateful that we have an uplifting site to go to like www.lds.org that is available when we need it.
