Coping with Anxiety in a Dangerous World

Just as the biblical writers faced many dangers in their time, we are now starkly faced with our own anxieties and fears. Are worry, anxiety and fear signs of lack of faith? Does God promise to protect us from all evil? How do we have our minds renewed in relation to these emotions? Does Scripture address panic attacks, phobias, OCD and PTSD? Are there psychological and medical therapies for anxiety that are helpful for both Christians and non-Christians? Is medication helpful? Can we call these “common grace remedies” gifts from God to a hurting world?
