Breakthrough from stress and anxiety through the word of God

In recent years I’ve found myself getting problems with anxiety, working in a school it seems to get worse.   Although I’m not a teacher, I really feel for teachers and the pressures they go through and expectations, and a lot of the time its a thankless job.

I found this passage helpful:-

Philippians 4 : 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
