The here and now is not all there is. God isn’t finished yet. God is calling you to a race that you were born to win 💛

“So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18

“I’m a christian so I shouldn’t be depressed.” “Why am I so anxious? If I would just believe and trust God more, I wouldn’t feel like this!”

Genetics, environmental factors, spiritual battles, post-traumatic stress, past abuse, tragic situations- Any of these (or a mixture of them) can cause anxiety and/or depression.

I’ve talked to many women lately who feel bad about feeling bad. What’s worse than anxiety/depression? Feeling shameful about having it. “What is wrong with me? Why do I feel like this? What will my kids remember about me when they’re older?

:We all struggle with something:
You can be a believer, a follower of Christ, a child of God who also struggles with depression or anxiety. Why? Because you’re human and we live in a fallen world. We have illness, disease, hardships, addiction, and many other difficulties. No one is immune.

Though He doesn’t want you to be anxious or fearful, God knew we’d struggle with this. Your anxiety is no surprise to Him.

The enemy would love nothing more for you to feel trapped in your life, swirling around in defeat feeling hopeless. You are not hopeless. Your life is not over. God can turn this all around - He wants to do amazing things through you!

:God can use it for your good:
God can use your anxiety to draw you closer to Him. He can turn it around for your good and for His glory!. He can use you as you grow and learn from your anxiety/ depression and help others struggling with the same.

:Reach out:
Some of us will need medication with counseling from a trusted pastor or christian therapist. Don’t be afraid to reach out. You are not alone and there are people who do care and can relate.

I’m praying for you - for all the eyes who look at this tonight. Anxiety is not the end of you and it certainly doesn’t define who you are. Only God can do that.

Please know that you are loved beyond all comprehension and there is light. Always. God will never let go of you. Tell Him your fears and troubles. Ask Him for wisdom. Reach out for help. See your doctor. Find a christian counselor. Ask friends/family for support and stay in His word daily.

You are worth it.
