Knowing that God can help you live a better life if you want to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God, saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, omnipotent, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, that we go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Always endless resources - time and again without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Or go to heaven and be with God forever, or go to hell that is very bad and painful for forever. The good people are saved believers in Christ go to heaven. The wicked go to hell. We must know and follow God in this world to go to heaven in the afterlife. We loving God and loving others obey him. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We have to accept Jesus in our lives as our Lord and Savior for all to receive God's blessing and forgiveness, rather go to heaven to be with God forever after death. It about being a born again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray by faith in God. Just talk and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and follow Him. Some people to find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is done by God. Evolution can not explain the natural beauty of the world, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. Once the faith, you can pray the sinner's prayer to be a born again Christian. This Prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I made the following sins (status of these) and ask to stop these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. On behalf of Jesus, Amen. "I'm Lutheran and Baptist churches like me too. You could check out a Christian church and also see on their study group Weekly Bible as a good way to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about their daily life of a Christian church and pray for you.

Panic Attack: Signs, Symptoms, Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia

Panic Attack: Signs, Symptoms, Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia

A panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming fear and anxiety, usually without any clear reason and without warning. It can happen to anyone regardless of age, health and status. Many attacks are a one-time occurrence, but some people experience recurring episodes. Recurring episodes are often caused by a "trigger" – like speaking in front of a crowd or doing a presentation at work. Panic attacks may be a part of another disorder such as depression, panic disorder, or social phobia. These, however, are generally harmless, but sufferers still feel that their life is in danger. Either way, panic attacks are treatable.

Signs and Symptoms

A panic attack can happen anytime, but it usually happens when you are away from home. You may be at a store shopping, at work preparing for a presentation, in a class, driving, walking down the street or even during asleep.

The signs and symptoms develop quickly and usually arrive at its peak in 10 minutes. The majority of panic attacks do not last for more than 30 minutes and it rarely lasts for more than an hour.

A person during an attack shows these signs and symptoms:

• Increased heartbeat or palpitation
• Chest pain
• Hyperventilation or shortness of breath
• Stomach churning, upset stomach
• Trembling and shaking
• Muscle tension
• Sweating
• Dizziness and light-headedness
• Hot or cold flashes
• Tingling sensation or numbness
• Fear of dying, going crazy or losing control
• Feeling detached from the surroundings

Panic Disorder

A panic attack may happen just once without any problem or complication. And there is almost no reason to be concerned if you have one or two episodes. But those who have experienced several episodes usually develop panic disorder.

Recurring panic attacks along with persistent anxiety for future attacks and major changes in behavior can be considered as panic disorder. There are two symptoms of panic disorder: (1) phobic avoidance and (2) anticipatory anxiety.

Phobic avoidance - When you begin to avoid certain things or situations based on the belief that it would trigger another attack. It can also be avoiding situations that have caused the previous attack. You may also avoid places or situations where escape is difficult and help is unavailable, like riding an elevator or an airplane. Extreme case of phobic avoidance may lead to agoraphobia.

Anticipatory anxiety – The "fear of fear" or the fear of having future panic attacks. The person manifesting this symptom is usually tensed and anxious. When ignored, the condition can be disabling.

Panic disorder with agoraphobia

Agoraphobia is traditionally believed as fear of open places or public places, thus, it literally means "fear of the marketplace." However, now it is believed that agoraphobia is fear of experiencing panic attack in a place where help is difficult or where escape would be difficult.

People with agoraphobia tend to avoid the following situations or activities:

• Being away from home

• Driving

• Confined places where there is a possibility of being trapped (elevator, theaters, public transportation, stores)

• Going out with "unsafe" person or someone he or she is not comfortable being with.

• Places where it would be embarrassing to have a panic attack like parties and other social gatherings.

In severe cases, people with agoraphobia see their home as the only safe place.
