Anxiety has become one of the most common reasons people seek therapy. It can show up in physical tension, persistent worry, difficulty focusing, disrupted sleep, or a sense of being overwhelmed. For many Christians, anxiety can also create additional layers of guilt or confusion: “If I trust God, why do I still feel this way?”
From a clinical and Christian perspective, anxiety is not a character flaw or evidence of weak faith. It is a natural human response to stress, uncertainty, and emotional pain. Learning to understand anxiety—rather than fight or fear it—is often the first step toward healing.
Anxiety Is Not a Spiritual Failure
Many people assume that feeling anxious means they are not trusting God enough. In counseling, I often remind clients that throughout Scripture, even strong, faithful individuals experienced fear and distress.
David wrestled with his emotions openly.
Elijah experienced exhaustion and despair.
Paul acknowledged his own moments of pressure and concern.
Their experiences didn’t diminish their faith, and yours do not diminish yours. Anxiety is a signal, not a spiritual verdict.
