When life feels too heavy to carry, God becomes your strength. 💛

Find hope and peace in His promise: “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” – Psalm 73:26

Anxiety is a battle many face, even those deeply rooted in their faith. Throughout the Bible, we find narratives of individuals navigating the tumultuous waters of anxiety.

Let's explore three examples together:

Moses: Despite his pivotal role in leading the Israelites to freedom, Moses wrestled with anxiety and self-doubt. In Exodus 4, he expressed fear and inadequacy, questioning his ability to fulfill God's calling. Yet, God reassured Moses, promising to be with him every step of the way.

Paul: The apostle Paul, known for his unwavering dedication to spreading the Gospel, grappled with anxiety and hardship. In 2 Corinthians 11, he speaks candidly about his anxieties, including fear of persecution and the burdens of leadership. Despite his struggles, Paul found strength in his faith, leaning on God's grace to sustain him.

Jesus: Even the Son of God experienced anxiety in the face of his impending crucifixion. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed fervently, sweating drops of blood as he pleaded with God to let the cup of suffering pass from him. Yet, he surrendered to God's will, trusting in His plan for salvation.

These examples from Scripture remind us that anxiety is a natural part of the human experience, even for those with strong faith. If you're battling anxiety, know that you're not alone. Covenant Counseling Center in Naples, FL, offers support, understanding, and guidance. Together, let's navigate the stormy seas of anxiety and find peace in God's presence.

Red herrings—distractions that shift focus from the real issue—can show up in relationships, work, and faith communities. They leave us questioning ourselves and silenced.

In my latest article, I break down this fallacy, its impact, and practical ways to reclaim your voice and clarity. Link in bio.

You don’t need a formal diagnosis to begin healing from trauma. If your past is still affecting your daily life, therapy can offer support and tools to help you move forward. Remember, every step toward healing is progress.
