H.A.L.T.

 

When overwhelming anxiety creeps into your life, ask yourself these simple questions:

H - Am I hungry? Keep your body and spirit nourished with healthy foods and soul-satisfying verses from the Bible.

A - Is anger involved in my anxiety? Remember, you can express your anger without causing havoc or destruction. Talk it out reasonably and logically.

L - Am I feeling lonely? Verbalize your feelings and alleviate tension. Repeat John 16:32: "I am not alone, for [God] is with me."

T - Am I physically or mentally tired? Goals and priorities must include time for adequate rest and relaxation. Schedule some time alone with God.
