How do you find relief from constant anxiety 24/7?

What worked and continue to work is reading the Psalms in the Bible. In fact, that thought and practice came up last night when I was trying to go to sleep. Before getting into bed, I picked up the Bible and started to read Psalm 1 and really focused in what psalmist was writing and thinking through the process of meditating. I decided to work on memorizing the first two verses. Not long after, I put everything up and thought about the meanings of what I just read and memorized. I felt a sense of peace and next awoke after having slept nearly all night.
The key is to believe that this will work and do it with intention of focusing on the reading content.
This process is sometimes referred to as meditating. You direct your thoughts and mind on things that bring you peace and away from those things that bring on anxiety.
I hope you give this some thought and, perhaps, try it.
Peace be with you.

Hi Victor,
Reading the Bible is always a good idea! I'm glad it helps you. My husband and I are reading the Bible cover to cover for the third time. We read a section each morning with our coffee and tea before we get up. It is relaxing and starts the day right. Plus you learn a lot from it. Back in those days people had to kill dinner and had to have a lot of kids so they could kill dinner when the parents got older. (Mainly the father.) Also we found out that the Philistines put gold necklaces on their camels! Not to mention all the miracles that God did; parting the red sea and also parting a few other bodies of water and the rainbow. And also Jesus healing people and turning the water into wine! It's good to keep track of actual history like the Bible is and to use it for relaxation.

I believe that scripture is healing. At your suggestion, I will start reading and meditate on Psalms tonight. Thank you for your words of wisdom. God bless you!
