If you don’t mind, it’s okay if you’re busy, but if someone can please pray for my healing and for my anxiety to go away, I pray non stop about it, I can’t leave my house some days, I will stay in bed days at a time I’m so miserable, I cry so much. My anxiety makes me feel like im dying. I can’t breathe, I hyper ventilate, I throw up, I pass out. Im suffering please help me. I can’t do this alone my brothers and sisters. Please pray for me. I love you all so much. I pray that life provides you all with peace, understanding, that Jesus Christ paves the way for you to walk an easier walk in life, that you always have food on your plate and a bed to sleep in. That you are protected against all evil and that you prosper in whatever you put your mind to, AMEN💚💚💚💚

I DECLARE THAT MY ANXIETY AND PRIDE HAS BEEN BROKEN IN THE NAME OF JESUS!

[apriljasmin]

My youth pastor sent me this video when I was 19, I'm 24 now. Back then I thought there was no way out of suffering from anxiety and depression. I had dropped my college courses and was hiding from God because I kept feeling ashamed for coming to him with the same issues for so long. I was emotionally numb and spiritually drain. I felt I got no rest from constant struggle with my mental and physical health. This sermon helped me to grow in a way I never thought possible. I went back to school and completed my courses and I did fall again but never as hard as that previous time. I went from not being able to make eye contact with people to not feeling anxious talking in front of a crowd. I sang solos I'm front of our full church, over a thousand people and people streaming.I made it 2 years into my studies before the pandemic hit and online classes weren't easy for me so I had to take another break. However, In that break I never lost faith and I never will. I will forever be grateful for the things God has shown me to keep me going. I never thought I'd make it past 19. I'm so happy to still be here and to be able to share to encourage someone else in a similar place to where I was

I was having a panic attack when I found this. Please pray for me

[RoxanneHurtado]

My daughter just turned 21 on 3/31. Suffering from mental illness, anxiety, couldn’t sleep, hearing voices and then on top of everything was quarantined alone in her apt. I found her 4/25 - 5 days before my birthday and we had the funeral the day before Mother’s Day. Who ever is reading please pray EVERYDAY multiple times. God has you in his hands. Do not give up. He loves you. We love you.

[leslieramos]

Last year I watched this video because of a situation that put me in a dead spin spiral of anxiety and depression. Today I watch not completely cured but a different person. To all fist seeing this message dealing with anxiety and depression, know that it will pass. Please. Keep your faith. I felt like I need to post something for the people that are just seeing this for the first time. It will get better.
