Memorize with Me?

Psalm 139:23-24
 
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
   test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
   and lead me in the way everlasting.
 
 
I'm going to focus on this passage for the next week.  If you're one who struggles with anxiety and panic issues, would you join me, in memorizing it?  What is "offensive?"  For me, it's the inability to just leave all that I surrender, at the Foot of the Cross--at Jesus' Feet.  I surrender it.  I say "I'm trusting you God, I don't want to feel anxious...." and yet, before I know it, I feel the level of stress escalating, my blood pressure rising, my hands trembling, my breathing shallow.....and I find myself saying "Don't be anxious about anything Jess.....don't be anxious...." and then, it's the beginning of the cycle again.
