BONUS SERIES: Dwell on These Things, Ep. 3 // Debra Fileta - The Anxiety Exchange
"When you feel anxious, your body is sending you this signal. Don't just sit in that. Respond. Do something about it. Go to prayer; ask God to help you realign your mindset...Give him the burdens. Go to this quiet special place and start to adjust and recalibrate and do things differently. And when you leave that place, you will be filled with the peace of God."
— Debra Fileta
