Anxiety is like the floor being taken from your feet and starting to fall in free fall. I believe practically everyone has already dreamt they were falling from somewhere.

I believe these dreams are linked to our fear of heights, a natural dread that exists in humans. It’s that feeling that seems so real that it often wakes us up in the middle of the night, makes us worry, and makes us wake up without breath, it seems so real.

Well, isn’t that the same feeling that people who suffer from anxiety attacks have?

If you’ve ever seen a person have an anxiety attack, it’s exactly as if they were falling from a height and couldn’t hold on to anything; they feel that the ground has opened and that they’re falling in free fall and, in a little while, they’ll hit the bottom and die. This is an anxiety attack for those who have it.

Where does this feeling of not having the ground under your feet come from?

Pay attention to this word of the Lord Jesus:

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.” Matthew 7:24-25.

The house here represents the person who, by their prudence, seeks to listen to the words of the Lord Jesus and practice them. If you listen to His words and put them into practice, you will be as firm in life as the house built on the rock, that neither wind, nor storm, nor earthquake, nor flood, nothing made that house fall. So, the Word of God supports us in the face of the windstorms of life.

“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” Matthew 7:26-27.

Therefore, if you want to be free from anxiety, this feeling of falling, and the feeling that nothing and no one can hold you, here is the medicine: listen to the words of the Lord Jesus. Listen carefully, intelligently, and with interest.

While you are listening to God’s words, understanding them and absorbing them, He is strengthening your faith. But it can’t stop there because He said the two builders – the wise and the foolish – heard the Word. That is, within the universe of those who hear the word of the Lord Jesus, there are two types of people: those who listen and practice and those who listen and ignore. And knowledge is not enough; you only know when you start practising; before that, it’s just information.

So, put it into practice because when you practice, you build on the rock of the Word of God, which talks about everything in your life and ensures you about all situations. It ensures you not only about anxiety, but to everything. When you make the Word of God your support, it gives you back peace and tranquillity. Then you can be in the eye of a storm, even on the plane when it’s falling, and you’ll have peace.

Start practising this; the rest is with Him. Rest, take a deep breath because if you fall, there are the arms of God.
