I'm not sure what's going on with me right now. I feel so anxious about so many things especially work. My employees can be really disrespectful and i feel anxious whenever im around them. We have a team meeting tomorrow. Ive also been worried about my future. Someone just came over and was talking about my future and how I should wait to purchase a home because I'm still young and may get married in the future. I almost cried because Im not sure it is God's will even though it is something I desire. I've been trying to sleep for the past 30 minutes and I haven't been able to because my mind is all over the place.

We all struggle with some manifestation of fear or its cousins lack anxiety despair depression etc...,
Now not all anxiety is of the enemy don't think I'm a Bible fanatic but when it moves you so quickly and comes from a seemingly innocent comment or nothing at all and you have racing thoughts keeping you up at night that's the enemy taking advantage of a little justified anxiety and blowing it up into something huge. <---ETA: aka a doorway once blown up it can become a stronghold if you don't get and maintain control of your mind.
James 4:2
You desire and do
not have, so
youmurder.
You covet and cannot obtain, so
you fight and quarrel.
You do
nothave,
because you do
not ask.
Hosea 4:6
my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.
This is the enemy getting you anxious worried and upset over your future. A future only God can know. Take this to Jesus I prayer don't make any rash decisions bit don't let the spirit of fear and lack get a hold of you because it only leads to anxiety no sleep despair depression. The racing thoughts is a clear sign it's the enemy playing with you stop entertaining that mess.
Get out your bible out and hit this fear with the scriptures when you feel this type of anxiety over anything. I suggest starting with Psalms 6 and 23.
Here some more scriptures and a link.
Ephesians 6:13-18
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Luke 10:17
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name
Luke 10:19
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
Jesus gave us authority in His name.
You should rebuke that spirit of fear and anxiety out of your life your home in Jesus name go to where Jesus sends them Amen!
2 Tim 1:7
1John 4:18
