Strong sense of anxiety overcome through prayer

In 2010, I was selected for a 15-month consultancy with the United Nations in the Dominican Republic. I was very happy for this opportunity that God was giving me in my career, and I left my country with joyful expectation.

However, when I arrived in the Dominican Republic and started my job, I started to suffer from a strong sense of anxiety. All the joy I had initially felt vanished within a couple of days, and fear seemed to hold a huge black cloud over my thought. I was feeling very insecure regarding the work I had to do, and I strongly doubted my skills. In addition, I had also started to feel a strange sensation in my hands, which made me feel worried.

Even on weekends I wasn’t able to find peace. My thought would fill up with fear when thinking about the many responsibilities that were awaiting me at the office on Monday. Also, the discomfort in my hands didn’t stop.
