Oh My, Thank You Lord Jesus, I really needed this I've been in anxious pain for almost a week: but with prayer and supplication I feel a sudden burden lifted from my shoulders. Praise you lord in Jesus name Amen.
Easy for someone to say Its a sin to be anxious..especially if you haven't lost everything..if your family got wiped out..and you lost everything ..your home..everything..takes years to recover..
I have lost just about everything that once made me feel comfortable & safe. I have lost my job, career, health, financial stability, friends, family, dignity and nearly my life. I don't know exactly how you feel because I'm not in your shoes, but I know how it feels to lose those things. It is very scary, and I am very appropriately anxious. I am so sorry you are experiencing what you're experiencing. Anyone would be made anxious by such things. I agree, it's easy for someone who is very privileged to say... However, this message does not make your experiences any less valid; nor are your emotions anything to repent for, nor are you spiritually weak for experiencing them. My goodness, God designed you to have emotions! I believe that Christ has compassion for us in our times of anxiety; even when we don't feel him near at all.
Yes..soo true..i lost everything..and it was not my doing...til it happens crew have no clue..the stresscpain the and axiety that comes ..big hug to you
It's so easy to say, but when you are anxious and in the middle of a panic attack. And you don't know one single reason why you feel that way. I believe it comes from the enemy. That I have no doubt. I have faith that God is working in my life to help me overcome all my faults. But when I experience the anxiety and panic attacks, I don't feel like it's because of my lack of faith. It's a chemical thing happening in my brain, putting my body into fight or flight. I feel like I'm dying. But I know Jesus is beside me through it all. And I don't feel like it has anything to do with a lack of faith in the Lord. It's actually kinda hurtful honestly. Because not only do I suffer from this awful disorder, but in your opinion I don't have enough faith and trust in the Lord. That's simply not true. The bible tells us we will struggle in this life. That we will have trials and tribulations. Nowhere are we promised a constant comfortable existence on this earth. We will struggle so much, it's our faith that gets us through. It strengthens it in fact, because we've been through suffering and we've witness how the Lord is with us, helping us get through it all, and that gives me faith that no matter how bad it gets, He is with me. But comfort is not a promise on this world. Our promises and treasures come when we leave this world and enter Heaven.
within the first few moments he puts quotation signs up when he talks about how many people "have" and "have been diagnosed" with some sort of anxiety attacks. I'm going to watch the whole thing again. But it feels very judgemental, and uses stigmas that as an advocate for mental health awareness go against what I know to be true.
acbambi250 but that's exactly my point. You just called them quacks. These are people who are saving lives. Just like anything else you have your good and your bad. But for the most part, they're good. I don't need them to preach the gospel to me because I know it and believe in every word of it. I spent years praying and suffering with debilitating depression, anxiety and panic disorders, dermatillomania ( a form of OCD, where the anxiety causes the compulsion to pick at your skin) and agoraphobia. As well as being an alcoholic in recovery, July 17th will be 7 years. You can't pray it all away. I've tried. It's dangerous to make people feel that way. What if they are suicidal? They need intervention when prayer just isn't working. There are different forms of depression and anxiety. Some people just have situational depression brought on by some trauma or loss in life. Prayer works wonders in these cases. But when you have genetic/biological depression that is caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain, you need medical intervention to overcome the struggle and live a life of peace and joy. When people say things like you are lacking in faith because you feel anxious, it's so hurtful. You are doing more harm than good. Why not just pray for them, rather than question their faith?
acbambi250 and the truth comes out....you accuse me of lacking in faith because I suffer from anxiety. Would you say that to someone with cancer? No. You clearly don't know or understand how these mental disorders work, and you have a bias about the mental health community as a whole. Saying they're quacks and you don't trust any of them. You do realize there is faith based couseling? Just because I trust my doctor doesn't mean I don't trust in the Lord completely. I believe the Lord can lead us to others who can help us with our trials and tribulations. At no point have I ever stopped trusting in God just because I got help. You clearly don't care if you are hurting anyone with your words. This way of dealing with Christians who suffer from anxiety is offensive. And as a Christian, and an advocate for mental health awareness, of course I'm going to stand up for what is right so hopefully others that might be watching this don't feel like what they are going through is their fault and they don't have faith in God. Only they know what their relationship with Jesus is. And only I know my relationship with Jesus. So stop being so defensive, and try to have some compassion for all the people out there who suffer so much from anxiety.
@@boredhousewifelife My Dear sister, I have to agree with you. Eventhough the LORD has delivered me from severe depression, I am not the same anymore after having experienced mental distress to that degree. I now know that there can be many causes to many mental illnesses. I want to commend you for your eloquent, compassionate and polite demeanor and I do hope and pray that the Lord takes it all away or gives you more and more strength everyday to cope. I believe that there can be many reasons the LORD let's it all happen, though we can never know His thoughts and perfect plans. But I know one thing for surefor my life, and that is that he used these means to sanctify me and turn me from a rather cold and unrighteously judgmental christian to a more prudent and compassionate daughter of Him.
@@boredhousewifelife Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for this awareness. This pastor's messaging is so damaging, and quite frankly dangerous if it falls on vulnerable ears. The church can do better than victim-blaming.

Job lost everything yet still trusted in the Lord and did not sin.
@@Ancient-Paths Please read again my Dear Sister. :) Job eventually sinned, cursing the day he was born etc., but the LORD forgave him.
@@Ancient-Paths Gawwwwwwd, I knew Job was going to come up here. Spiritual bipassing is so damaging.

God allowed me to escape his anxiety. Repent and have your sins forgiven by the Lord Jesus!
Hmmmm. I'm not sure I'm understanding the "repent" piece when it comes to clinical diagnosis...?
Kesse Leah yeah fairs tbf - therapy was a massive massive help
