I Can Move Through This Moment
Full Text
This panic is intense, but it is a moment—not a prophecy. I can slow my breathing, notice what is around me, and let my body settle at its own pace. I am not failing because I need help. I may contact someone I trust or seek medical attention when symptoms are new, severe, or uncertain. God is present with me in my body, my thoughts, and my fear. I can meet this moment one breath at a time.
