6 Surprising Truths for Christians Facing Mental Health Struggles

As someone who has wrestled through anxiety and bouts of depression for so long as I can remember, I understand how difficult it could possibly be to reconcile mental health struggles as a follower of Jesus. I do know what it’s prefer to feel ashamed and broken. I even have often prayed through tears, asking God to heal my mind, to remove the emotions of panic, and to rescue me from the darkness that overwhelms my soul.Lately, God has been reminding me of straightforward truths. Some of them surprised me. I even have been clinging to the guarantees present in His Word, and if I’m honest, some days, that’s all that gets me through. As little children, we’re holy, set apart, loved, chosen, and forgiven. But there are days, weeks, and months once I feel like anything but those things. So, in case you’re finding yourself in an analogous place, listed below are a number of truths that I pray God uses to encourage you right where you’re at. Photo Credit: © Getty Images/tommaso79
