Rejoice in Hope

This is the Bible verse that became my theme during my cancer journey.  I used it along with a breathing exercise to help calm myself.  I would breathe in and think "Rejoice in hope" followed by holding my breath while I thought "be patient in tribulation."  I slowly released my breath while thinking "be constant in prayer" and then held my breath again while thinking "Romans 12:12."  The exercise will work with slowly counting or any other phrases that help to bring you calm and peace.

If you have a breathing exercise, Bible verse, or special phrase you use when you experience anxiety, please feel free to share it in the comments.
