When Anxiety Spoke Loudly

Over the past few months, anxiety and I have been on speaking terms again – different than before when it debilitated me, but definitely speaking.

It was saying, “God has been quiet about the direction for your business for a while now. I think you heard Him wrong when He invited you onto this journey. It is time to quit and find something else to do.”

And I listened.
I listened HARD!!!!
Because God HAD been quiet.
And I DID feel confused…

But something inside would NOT let this dream of helping women with anxiety go.

Asking God in the Silence

So I asked God.
Who still seemed quiet.

Oh, He was answering me in other ways – in the women’s ministry I lead, and the Missions trip to Mexico. But about the business, there was silence.

So after a few weeks of feeling paralyzed and GETTING A LOT OF OTHER THINGS DONE, I decided to go to the Source – God Himself – and spend some time with what I KNEW about Him.

What I Remembered About God

What did I know about the God who created me?
I knew His Names – Abba, Saviour, Provider, King, Warrior.
I knew those Names…

So, I began to spend time with those Names. I studied them. I thought about what they meant. I thought about why God would call Himself THOSE names.

And that study changed my thoughts.

If He is Abba Father, if He is Provider, if He promises to Guide me, then I am NOT in the wrong place.
I am NOT on the wrong journey. Because I GOT to this place through prayer and following the leading of the Holy Spirit.

The Battle of Voices: God vs. Anxiety

Have you ever stepped out on what you believed was God’s whisper—only to wonder later if you misheard?
Has anxiety (and the enemy) ever shouted so loudly that it drowned out the quiet voice of God’s calling?

I’d love to hear your story. What did you do in that moment? Share in the comments—I know your words will encourage someone else.

Anxiety is incorrect.

I told it so.

My God whispered to me, He invited me, I KNOW this. I will follow Him and He WILL provide.

From Silence to Strength

As I studied the Names of God, something shifted.

I’ve turned this discovery into a brand-new 4-week course: “Restored in His Presence.” It’s short, powerful, and designed to help you build a rock-solid foundation for releasing anxiety and walking in peace. We begin in October, and I’d love for you to join me.
