On a scale of 1-10, how steady is your mental health right now?

[charlesharrison]

Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once . Breathe . You're strong . You got this . Take it day by day .

[Mari]

Getting help is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of wisdom. AMEN!!

[robinmarshall]

Jesus I need you, I desperately need your peace, I can’t take the anxiety and stress anymore.
I receive your perfect peace in Jesus name…. Amen

As a therapist, who has also struggled with anxiety, I love hearing all of this!

Pastor Craig, you are helping so many people, please don't stop preaching about this subject. God bless you.

Life Church, I just came out of the mental hospital for suicidal thoughts. Literally a week ago. The church, as humans, have not been helpful in this area. I appreciate any prayer that churches and pastors can start being advocates for those that struggle with depression and come along side them instead of keeping them at a distance that is safe for them.

This is the 3rd time watching this message and I learn more each time I watch it. I believe God allowed you to go through this to help me and people like me. Unless you’ve gone through this, you have no idea the hell we go through mentally. I’m praying for guidance and healing for you, me and people going through this like we are. Healing is slow, but our steps are sure. God Bless and keep you in the palm of his Hands.

I am just in the beginning of your book 📖, winning the war in your mind, I have had a huge physical & mental breakdown. I suffer from major anxiety & have since I was born . It is all in my family, anxiety disorder & depression. God freed me from addiction! So I won't stop praising Him, yet yesterday I begged Him to take me home. I feel like this will never end& idk what else to do. Plz pray for me! I am praying for everyone else that is suffering & I hope to help those in addiction & with mental health problems. Right now, I can't see a way out, but I know God is the way thru! I guess I just wrote my own Psalm just now 😌 . Ty pastor for your book! I won't stop fighting. I love you all! God Bless 🙌

Good morning Pastor Craig. I just found your channel this weekend and have already watched several of you sermons. I believe God lead me here for a reason and I want to thank you for being transparent about mental health. I have been struggling with depression for about a year now and your sermons will be a huge part of my recovery. Thank you and God bless you!

[malcolm]

Mental health is important to talk about 💯

[merisibunker]

"Getting help isn't a sign of weakness it's a sign of wisdom." Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[sethruter]

Can't wait to hear this series, as a recent retired veteran with PTSD, stress, anxiety, hyper arousal & many other mental health issues everyday is a struggle for me but with the love and support of my wife and knowing God is with me getting me through by talking with others has helped immensely. God is good

[emilytracy]

This message had me crying, not because I'm in pain now, but for two reasons: because I have felt this pain before, the anxiety attacks, depression, self harm, the overwhelming negative thoughts, and my heart hurts for everyone who is fighting this battle silently. The other reason is because of how good God is. He is with you, He will bring healing, He will be your peace and He will rescue you. My message to people is to never give up, there is hope, and God sees you. I'm 17. May we all find Shalom shalom.

Thank you Pastor Craig for always being real.

[iammendez]

God bless you Pastor Craig❤️❤️🤝you're helping to save lives out there, this is so touching... watching from Africa, Zambia🇿🇲

[salomelouw]

I'm so glad for this message, , as I've watch another Preacher said that depression and anxiety block us of from God, i almost lost it, because God is the only reason I made it this far.
