Panic Attacks with new diagnosis and fear of the unknown: What helps?

Bon,
I'm 78. When I was ten, I heard Psalm 23 and it was so beautiful, I memorized it all.
My brain isn't as good as it was, so I can't recite it all perfectly, but read over it and
see all the beautiful promises in it. About five years ago, I had an insight: It says
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil
for you are with me..." I looked and looked and I couldn't find the part where it
says everything is going to be o.k., we are going to have fun, it's going to be a
piece of cake, etc. It does say that God will be with us.
Our bodies are amazing things and if we give it some help, it will usually fight off
anything. Clean up your diet. Get exercise every day. Take probiotics and prebiotics.
Do things to help your immune system. Get air filters for most of your rooms.
Get rid of clutter. Meditate for xx minutes every day.
Over 100 times in the Bible it says "Be Not Afraid" in one form or another.
Do you believe?
Harry

The 23rd psalm also says,
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies… meaning our enemies are our fears, the table (food) is love and God. Return to God and love. There are no guarantees in this life. Everyone dies from something!

That is so true Harry. I remember reading about the 23rd Psalm, and the comment was, “ Would you rather be hit by a truck or run “over” by a truck? In the psalm it says, “.. though I walk “through” the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” Not so much pain walking “through” something ! Ever since then I realized that being afraid of things in life will still happen because we are human, but I always remember that reading and am comforted by it as I understand the psalm. Any disease is scary , but the good God has the bigger picture and will see us “through” it. ( Irene)
