How Does the Gospel Bring Hope for Anxiety Sufferers?

I read & reviewed When the Noise Won't Stop by Paul Grimmond (hint: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️). I also took this opportunity to talk about my experience dealing with anxiety as a Christian.

Appreciate you talking about this! Not something we discuss as Christians beyond “just pray!” Or “read this verse”! As someone with the same “disorder” as you

“God's ultimate goal is not our comfort but his glory and our transformation into the like-ness of Jesus.”

Amen!!

(Thank you for sharing this beautiful video, Lydia😊)

Thank you for sharing this, Lydia! Anxiety is a huge issue in this day and age, I think, and I've discovered I'm a worry-pot. So thank you for addressing this topic! It's so important that when we worry we turn to God and not away from Him, which is something I admit that I have learnt the hard way. I find taking time to "be still" (Psalm 46:10) at the feet of Jesus and to remind myself of His Word and promises is such a tremendous remedy for anxiety.
God bless you!

Aww thank you so much for making this video Lydia! As someone who struggles with disordered anxiety (alongside OCD, which is a whole other ball game in of itself), this was so encouraging and honestly what I've needed to hear. The whole idea of accepting anxiety but trusting God throughout it resonates so much with me, and is something I'm really working on. It's okay to feel anxiety. We don't have to try and make it just go away. God's with us through it all, and it will pass. He's so loving and understands everything we're experiencing, beyond even our own understanding. I also love looking back at 2 Corinthians and Paul's thorn in his flesh, reminding me of just how sufficient God's grace is in our weaknesses and struggles. He's so good! Also, if you're looking for any other Christian resources on anxiety and mental health, I've found a lot of Mark DeJesus' resources (he has a YouTube channel) to be quite insightful and helpful along this journey. Anyway, thank you so much for this video and I'll definitely have to give this book a read! :)

God Bless ya Lydia, we all deal with something, but God is there for us to help us through it all.

The Book of Common Prayer really helped my anxiety. Daily Psalms are an integral part of my routine, to keep myself rooted in the Word and to live out of that Peace. Thank you for sharing, Lydia, God Bless!

Oh Lyds. You are such an encouragement to me and to so many in our church family. Your prayerfulness challenges me to be more prayerful and your walk with the Lord is beautiful. What a testimony your life is to God's grace. Can't wait to see where he takes you on your journey with him.xxx

Put all your trust and fears in the hands of god and our lord Jesus. They will guide you and your true self will awaken. Prayer and meditation are key, and be creative learn a musical instrument it will help. Also get into nature, a walk in a forest or camping. And less screen time, put them phones down and stay away from world news if you can't change it don't worry about it, it's all in Gods hands. The holy spirit is your friend and guide, he is always with you. Listen to his wisdom. God bless 🙏
