    When Anxiety Hits Out of Nowhere: Faith-Filled Tools to Find Peace in the Panic

    · Priorities on Purpose: Get Out of Survival Mode, Eliminate Distractions, Find Your Focus, and Grow With Jesus

    In this episode of Priorities on Purpose, Christian Life Coach Melissa Batt shares how to navigate situational anxiety that shows up unexpectedly—whether in the middle of the night, during a tense conversation, or out of nowhere in your day.

    This isn’t about long-term anxiety disorders. It’s about those moments when fear takes over, your chest tightens, and you feel like you can’t breathe. Melissa walks you through practical, faith-based strategies that have helped her personally, especially when traditional tools like breathing exercises fall short.

    You’ll discover how to use worship, Scripture, prayer, and community support to calm your spirit and regain clarity. She even shares the importance of eliminating specific triggers from your life that could be feeding your anxiety without you realizing it.

    Whether you’ve felt panic rise in the dark or wrestled with racing thoughts at the most inconvenient times, this episode offers a fresh perspective, spiritual truth, and real help.

    Key Takeaways:

    [00:02] – Situational Anxiety DefinedMelissa explains the difference between general anxiety and sudden, fear-filled moments that catch you off guard.

    [00:13] – What This Episode Won’t CoverInstead of breathing or grounding techniques, Melissa shares spiritual tools believers have access to through Jesus.

    [00:15] – Worship is Your WeaponWorship music trumps worry. Melissa offers a playlist of songs that speak truth and peace into chaotic moments.

    [00:23] – Hold Your Bible—Even if You Can’t Read ItJust having the Word of God nearby can shift the atmosphere. Declaring Scripture out loud brings peace and truth to the forefront.

    [00:30] – Powerful Verses to DeclareMelissa shares Psalms, Exodus, and 1 Peter verses that have anchored her when she couldn’t catch her breath.

    [00:38] – Cast Your Anxiety, Don’t Clutch ItHolding onto fear denies God’s love and power. Learn how to trade anxious cares for His affectionate care.

    [00:50] – When You Can’t Pray—Just Say His NameIf the only word you can get out is “Jesus,” it’s enough. His name alone carries power and peace.

    [00:55] – Why You Need a Praying CommunityHaving trusted friends who will intercede for you—even without details—makes all the difference.

    [01:01] – Three Things to Eliminate for Less PanicMelissa shares tangible triggers to avoid: scary media, occult influences, and late-night food that doesn’t sit well.
