The Story Behind 'Anxious Heart', By Jeremy Camp

[@3D_Drafter]

I feel that this is literally Philippians 4:6-7 in song form. Not only is this my favourite verse but it has gotten me though my darkest times. Burdens are not ours to carry but to lay them at His feet. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Thanks you for this song. It's a wonder I haven't blown up the speakers in my car as whenever it comes on the radio I turn up the volume on full

[@julieann6688]

I have suffered extreme anxiety and panic attacks for more than half of my life. Been on medications, supplements,. Trusting the Lord and putting Him first had helped me tremendously. This song helps in the sense that I am not alone. I hate that others suffer with it. God is the calm for all of us. Thank you Jeremy Camp! ❤❤❤

[@robin66va26]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have listened to your music for years, and it has helped me a great deal. I have battled panic attacks and depression my whole life. This song spoke to me so clearly. I know God will use it to let us know that we are not the only people in the world fighting this battle. He will use it to give comfort and strength. He will use it for His glory! You are human. It's ok to not be ok all of the time. God bless!

[@valanasha1135]

Many, many Christians suffer from anxiety and depression for various reasons. We will continue to do so until we are glorified with Christ. Can’t wait for the day.

Jeremy, my dad died from cancer when I was 18. Seven years later I had a daughter. I became so fearful of death. I was so afraid I wouldn't be around for her. I had severe anxiety and panic attacks because of my thoughts. I was talking to my cousin and she said 5 words to me. Do you believe in God. I realized why I was doing this to myself. I was not trusting God with this precious child of mine. The panic attacks stopped. That was 33 years ago. My beautiful cousin passed away a year and a half ago and I have never forgotten those words that saved me. Our family has been through some tough times like all families do. I discovered your music through an especially hard time. God has done his work through it all. May the Lord bless you and your family always.

[@fireofhislove3395]

The Lord has anointed that song because I was in the middle of a panic attack when I first listened to it and I then felt the peace that surpasses all understanding wash over me.

[@lesleynyborg2093]

I'm dealing with breast cancer and Anxious Heart impacted me. I want to be in control and God is constantly reminding me that HE is!

[@melissaliley7265]

I can so relate. I’ve been so fearful for my only child that I thought I might have a stroke. All glory to God for healing me of these feelings since. Anxious thoughts still creep in, I know they are not of God, rebuke them and peace comes.

[@pamelamesa4606]

[@nedastar2]

Thank you for sharing your story. You have shown us, we are not alone in our daily struggles. That the Lord is always close.❤😊

[@Terrobul]

My anxiety manifested as debilitating migraines for years… I didn’t realize exactly what was happening until I reached out for counsel. We are mind, body, spirit beings. Fight, flight, freeze is a good, built in, God given defense mechanism, but can also work against us. A lot of our anxieties come from the what if’s in life based upon events from the past. It’s important for us to trust God, use wisdom, and make good choices so we don’t bring unnecessary stress/pain/suffering into our lives. May God help us to continually trust Him everyday with our whole hearts. Thanks for sharing Jeremy it’s good to see that God has used you to bring others to Himself even though you have struggled to fully trust Him at times. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@lynnbupte6788]

Loving that for us. I saw Jeremy camp in Michigan years back. It was his wife's birthday and boy did he minister to us. It was rend collective and Matthew West with him. Jeremy, you have a great ministry and the enemy hates that

[@yuvia4525]

The enemy has been hard at work trying to pull Jesus followers away from God. And making sure others feel they never need Him. Ive noticed alot of people finally feeling God's nudge to open up about the storms they have been through. Speaking their testimonies. What the enemy meant for evil, God will use for good. Testimonies do that. They bring people hope and lead them to faith. And helps us fight for each other. God's beauty is so profound, it spills out of His people when we praise Him by sharing our testimony. 💚 so thank you Jeremy Camp for this beautiful song :) it spoke to sooooo many people

[@mtorres1443]

Thank you so much Jeremy for sharing your story I did experience bad anxiety on my own I was thinking the same way with my kids and all the fear that the enemy wants us to have but, yes God is always with us and I also learned how to trust him when my husband also die of cancer. Thank you so much for always being so transparent. God bless you and all your beautiful family.

[@Rebecca-zr3lu]

Thank you. ❤ I needed to hear your testimony and asked God for it. Your song helped me get over a hurdle in my life about fear of sharing the gospel and shame that wouldn’t let me go. I turned your song way up in my car and sang and knew I wasn’t alone. Praise God. Your song ‘I still believe ‘ was also very important to me. It is why I wanted to hear more. ❤ I love you for that. Thank you Jesus for Jeremy Camp 🏕️ and others who sang and taught me about you. Blessings ❤

[@sleepyzgoats7347]

Wow, thank you for this song and sharing your testimony. I have autism and I've had ptsd. Both cause panic attacks, but they're because of sensory overload, not lack of faith. But faith and speaking God's truth is still the way to overcome these kinds of attacks. Your song helps me get through them. Thank you!

[@patriciaberinger7645]

Those are the same 3 things I struggle with. In my trials and hardships, had to learn I literally can't do anything without Him. Prov 3:5-6 keeps me as does Phil. 4:13

[@marykaywilson1831]

I just listened to this and oh my how it touched me. Just what I needed for this time. I am struggling with anxiety and fear and stress. Not sure how I came upon this but it hit me. I have this verse hung up behind my computer, but as you were talking about it, it came to light for me. I had not been trusting God like I should. You have no idea how this has helped me today. Thank you for sharing. prayers

[@rowefamily8672]

I lost my husband with cancer in 2005 as that I lost my daughter from a drug overdose and 2014 she was 33 years old and had two little ones age 4 and 5 and and God did give me scriptures when my husband died he gave me all kinds of scriptures and then when my daughter died he, he said to me trust me trust me and then he spoke to me about Job. He said Job lost all 10 of his children and he still praise the Lord and trust God and I knew I had to trust God no matter what, and that gave me peace, when I was able to trust, God, no matter what happens to me in this life I know I can trust Jesus and stand on his promises and our love ones we will see them again. This is not all there is this is nothe went a way to prepare a place for us and he’s coming again to receive us

[@michellepartington7538]

Oh yes I've been there done that! I just listened to David Diga Hernandez share his experience on anxiety and panic attacks and God spoke to me through that, & that cycle is now broken. Yes Jeremy it boils down to not believing that God loves us. We counteract those lies with the truth of God's Word! The words of your songs are always meaningful!

[@debra0116]

I truly understand what you're talking about, because I too suffer from anxiety. Both of my grown children suffer from it too. 😪 It's a constant battle and if Jesus wasn't there, I don't know where I would be in life. I am learning to trust God daily. Proverbs 3:5-6 are my go to verses. Thank you for telling your story. I thought no one could understand what I go through. Thank you for the encouragement to persevere and go on. I love all your songs 🎵 and I pray for you and your family. God bless you 🙏 💝

I am crying right now. You are so transparent and raw. I am feel like because I have children I cannot open up my past to protect them. I bury those negative things. You have so much courage. You are truly a light for us sent by God. You are a miracle. You are proof of how God works. You say you have fear. I do not see that with you. To me you are fearless. You pour your heart out and your life is out there. In a good way. You share all your happiness and joy, plus Faith. Then you go for it with all your negatives too. It is amazing. I have you on my prayers answered list. I first heard about you 20 years ago. Then I took a wrong turn. Not like you would expect. I went totally religious. I was so caught up in religion I could not love like Christ. I thought I was a Christ follower, but wasn't. Christ saved me and my daughters from that last year. We met you last Oct. 2 days later my 16 year old daughter was Baptized and then my other 2 daughters got baptized in Nov. 22. It was a miracle to actually introduce them to you when I was seeking Jesus 20 years ago I heard you on Klove. I pray you are at Klove Awards this year.

[@curlysue8173]

Just watched this video today and was so timely and encouraging for me. I've trusted in God my whole life, but lately, I just started to feel anxious and fearful. I've wondered why I've felt this way, and began to think that the problem was with me. Like, "Will I go to Heaven even though I'm having these thoughts? Is Jesus still with me?" and stuff like that. Now I know that those are only lies from the evil one. During this season God has encouraged me so much through others. It's just hard sometimes to see the good when it feels like I'm being attacked on all sides. I even started to think I was the only one who suffered with this and, therefore, began to wonder if some of the thoughts I had been having were true. But when I saw this video and how God has still taken care of you through it all, it just brings me great comfort that God will do the same for me. Thank you so much for being bold and sharing this. Huge blessing for me🤍

For me depression anxiety do not mean you have any less Faith in Jesus Christ. Yes each battle belongs to Him and have already been Won.

Thus again with Love there is a difference. Brother you have gone through many storms and God has lead you through. I Thank you for sharing, as well the movie sharing your journey.

Thank you for your courage in sharing your story. Gosh, I have been where you have in all its forms. Panic attacks and anxiety are the main reasons I became a therapist. I 'overcame' them as you did by reading Scripture and praying as well as having support. God will use this to give hope to others struggling with these demons that they can get past what can be quite debilitating and have a full and abundant life. Proverbs 3:5-6 are one of my favorite verses and I read Philippians 4 a lot when going through the storm of nightly panic attacks and anxiety. God bless you.

Wow, so many people opening up about their similar struggle. While I don't want anyone to have this struggle, I think being open helps us realize we are not alone and can together point to Christ for our refuge and hear how He gets people through it, all for His glory. Thanks. It was a relief to hear another Christian who had similar thoughts to me and yet God is faithful and gentle. Just hearing how gentle He was in this story reminded me to expect the same and ignore the vicious accusations in my mind coming against me.
