'Christians shouldn't have mental illness.'

Welcome to the Daily Disciple with Isaac David!

MUCH LOVE,
Isaac

I almost attempted suicide because I thought that being a christian and following christ meant I had to give up all sin and be literally sinless and I couldnt figure out why it was nearly impossible for me to do it. God gave me the revelation that saved my life. planning to write a book of my experience. God Bless!

Good video, I made a vid on this recently. You never know what God will allow you to struggle with. No matter how long or what season we're in we should still be thankful and glorify Him. Just because you struggle doesn't mean your faith isn't strong enough.

I’ve struggled with mental health my whole life and it sucks.

[johnzahm]

I grew up in church, got saved at a young age, fell off a little bit and came back at age 21. I've been exposed to a lot, I have extreme highs and extreme lows and a panic disorder but I always turn to Jesus. If I didn't know Jesus I wouldn't still be here today. Most days I'm fine but my bad days can be very bad.

New subscriber..thank you..I suffer from health anxiety, I had cancer at 24 and that's when it started. I just pray and ask God to help me. Mental illness is real, but I believe Jesus will help ease some of my worries and fears

[Lynnwozere]

probably the most hurtful thing about talking to other christian’s about my mental or emotional struggles, is that some people will literally make everything an offense to Jesus. “you’re anxious? it’s cuz ur not trusting God” “you feel shame? it’s cuz ur minimizing what jesus did on the cross” “you struggle with faith? well don’t expect God to move then!” “anxiety is selfishness!!”
goodness…

I just want to say thank you so much for this video. I really needed to hear this because I struggle with anxiety so much and every day is a battle. I've always felt like I am a failure as a christian because of it but I'm not. God is working in my life and everyone else who does struggle. So thank you for being honest. God bless. 🙏

It was weird. When I was on medication I found it way easier to follow the Lord and trust in him and be his disciple. Well now, living without my medication I’m living in a constant state of fear. It’s crazy how someone can go from trusting God one minute to not at all the next

I really appreciate your tender and gentle approach to this whole topic. ☺️

Thank you for this Isaac. There are so many videos online that try to give you this magic “pill” to heal you of mental illnesses like Anxiety and Depression, and they can be great and helpful, but they sometimes miss the mark on what people like I need to console us. To pat us on the back, to embrace us. This video is exactly what that is. Thank you Isaac, again, for allowing God to speak through you and to use you for His glory. This video helped me in more ways than you know. 💕

Always was told I'm behind. Struggled in life. Now 38, still deal with anxiety and depression.
Trust Jesus and the Bible over school or social counselors. Proverbs and Psalms are really encouraging.

I just found your channel early in the morning when I was feeling so anxious and like God was mad at me... I watched your Rhett and link video and I felt like you were talking to me at the end. I too have crippling anxiety, I always think I’m going to hell, that I’ll never please God, that my faith isn’t true, I’m doing something wrong, etc. I really think God spoke to me through you, I cried!!!! Thank you for what you do, and having the courage to speak up. Thank you. God is working in you.

Good word, straight from the heart, so true, vulnerable and beautiful. Thanks for sharing your heart, I understand where you are coming from even though I’m not a young person 🙂. I’ll be praying. Bless you.

As a Christian who's struggling with anxiety as well, this is really helpful for me...it's like a friend who's talking me through my feelings and thoughts right now. I have trouble pinpointing what I feel, and I don't exactly know how to word out what I'm thinking and feeling most of the time...and it's really difficult navigating my thoughts while still being discerning as to where the boundary lies when I'm being too much already. My anxiety spikes here and there, sometimes I don't know why it spikes, or sometimes I get triggered by the simplest of things, and I just feel really overdramatic and overbearing...

I believe God meets me at those times, although it's difficult to hold unto those moments, but amidst the unstable things in my life, He has been the only constant thing holding me intact, comforting me and sitting with me through it.

I constantly long for Heaven...living is tiring sometimes but I know the Lord is able to give rest to those who are weary, and so I walk forward still, holding unto that hope.

I love that you’ve let your hair grow out, you look handsome (respectively). God bless you and may he continue to fill you with great wisdom! I dont think many people understand this and its so hurtful when people don’t understand or try to at least, even more so within the Christian community. Sending love and prayers your way! 🤍 —> This was sooo good and happy to hear you continually being a voice of light and compassion within our community. Its so important to validate those feelings and to be patient and kind to yourself. Anyways, simply thank you-

[AndHopeAndLove]

I feel guilty and scared because I cannot do the things God commands. I get depression and miss church, I use entertainment for distraction, many Christian’s told me my illness was ALL DEMONS and that I became mentally I’ll because of my prior substance abuse sin. The Bible says we’re to be perfect and I’m not perfect. I messed up my walk early, but it seems Jesus didn’t forsake me, because sometimes I feel His presence. I really wish Christian’s wouldn’t demonize SMI and call medicine sorcery. I’ve been through it all! I really need His love and not condemnation or performance otientated faith

[chronicghosts]

ty for this.. i take medication for extreme OCD and often worry i’m somehow sinning or disappointing God because of it

[laurawilson]

Thank you for addressing this. I've struggled with this and still do especally when I get "triggered" by something or someone. I would love to be able to share more about this with you.

[BestSibblingsEver]

Thank you so much for making this video and communicating the truth of the Gospel in love, and please remember that Jesus will always be there for you when you need Him because He loves you. 💛💛💛

[nataliefindley]

Thank you for what you do. This validated some of the ways I deal with my mental health and really helped me. Your voice is necessary for all of us ❤
