Has your girl ever gotten overwhelmed by the stressors in her life? For some, moments of stress and anxiety manifest in a physical way. These are known commonly as panic attacks.

Hyperventilating, dizziness, tightening in the chest—they’re all scary symptoms of panic.

If your daughter is experiencing panic attacks, you can ease her burden by being present with her in the moment. Whether through the reassurance of a bear hug or the power of intercessory prayer, you can help your daughter find the light at the end of this temporary tunnel.

Next time you’re with your girl in a time of panic, pray these words from Philippians over her: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
