Look back at last year’s panic. God got you through that. Now look at this one again.

You already have evidence. Whatever had you awake this time last year, the thing that felt unsurvivable, is now a story you could tell in two sentences, and God got you through it without you ever seeing how. That does not make the current fear small or unreasonable. It does mean your record is better than your forecast suggests.

Write down what you were panicking about last year and what actually happened. Set today’s worry beside it and compare. If the panic is constant, or physical in a way you cannot manage, tell a doctor or counselor, because that is a real thing to get help with.
