In the past, I have heard that a Christian shouldn’t ever have a reason to be anxious because they have an amazing God that takes care of them, whom they can rely on. Sadly, that isn’t always the case with every believer.

Anxiety is actually a very common thing among Christians today. 91% of Christians believe mental health is stigmatized in the church and is rarely discussed.

How do we overcome anxiety? Well, the good thing is there are many resource that can help, but personally, as someone who has delt with anxiety, I believe the love of others and the continued reminder of God’s promises helps the most.

So, make sure today to love those in your church family. You may never know what they may be feeling or going through. That encouraging word or gentle hug may be just what they need to overcome something huge in their lives.
