Hello all, I'm new to the community and still waiting on my materials to arrive. I had a question to others. I had the materials for the trial about two years ago and only now do i realize the change that only a few sessions had in my life. My question is, does anyone else feel that this anxiety, and depression has kept you from trusting in the Lord? Cause that's how i felt once i was given the revelation that this was the root to all of my problems. I love our saviour but i've felt over the past year and a half like i just could not stay on track to trusting him whole heartedly. I've been back and forth from faith to doubt, falling in the same pits and addictions due to fear. Please someone leave input if you felt that way and this program has helped you with your faith and helped you break a vicious cycle also. Thank You

Hi

I must say that it is very difficult when one is going through panic, anxiety and depression!!! I think by going through these things that it actually increased my faith in Christ Jesus!!!

Of course, this is probably due to the fact, that HE blessed me to overcome agoraphobic, panic attacks and depression!!!

I would say that while going through those many difficult years in my life, that I prayed more often and therefore, I feel like I was very close to God!!!

Now, looking back, I would have to say that I do not think I could have made it all of those years without HIM in my life!!!

Remember, that we are more than overcomers through Jesus Christ, Our Lord!!!

There is no mountain too high for us to climb!!! We have the ONE who made everything living inside of our souls!!!

We can not lose with Christ Jesus by our side!!! He is sooooo faithful and HE delivers us out of all of our afflictions!!!

He promised that we would have life and have it more abundantly!!! He is the answer to every single problem in our lives!!!

He bore all of our sicknesses and diseases...By HIS stripes we are healed daily!!!

We may face battles, but, we will not lose the battles we face!!! We are WINNERS NOT LOSERS!!!

I pray this helped to uplift you in some way!!!

God Bless You on Your Journey to Recovery, for you will recover!!!

Rest well tonight sheltered beneath the wings of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!!

Wow ! I to am a born again christian. I had felt like I was just going through the motions as a christian and not really seeking God in my life. My anxiety has returned with some stress in my life and I went right for what I know. The Lord Jesus Christ. I feel I am on track now. I started on Zoloft 14 days ago after being off of it for 11 yrs. Getting through the side effects are a little tough, but I will make it. I loved what you had to say. It truly blessed me. Thank you for your note

hello guys....I've been having panic attacks for the past couple of months..I've never had panic attacks before this..So when this occurred I freaked out...I have a fear of dying and whether i would go to heaven or hell...and this triggers my anxiety...constantly thinking about death whether its a car accident plane crash...or even being possessed...Since i was little i always thought about it I've always had dreams of the end of the world...But now is when the panic attacks are affecting me...I also believe in the LORD..But its been a struggle between being of the world...and being of the lord... I pray every night that I would be delivered from these feelings..please someone leave input and how this program helped you...and some words of advice please...THANK YOU..

I guess it is hard not to want to blame someone, or God, for feelings of anxiety, depression, or other things that make us feel bad. I had not had anxiety symptoms (or at least for not more than a few days every 6 months or so) for 7 or 8 years and they started up recently due to stress at work and feeling guilty about some choices I made in the past. Going to church sometimes made me feel worse because it made my guilt even worse. I pray daily now, which is a big step for me, and I have stopped asking why or what if. That has been huge, it is what it is, we can't dwell on the past because we can't change what happened. I continue to attend services and have learned to not be so hard on myself. I know God forgives me and doesn't judge me for past mistakes. Going forward, and asking God to help us on our journey is the only way to grow. Keeping a positive attitude is not going to be possible if we keep beating ourselves up about our mistakes, and as we all know, we can only heal if we ask for HIS forgiveness and love ourselves the way He does. I wish you all the best.

I've felt that way before; but I think that God gives us hard times and trials in order to bring us closer to him... I too, had doubts, especially after my father died suddenly several years ago from an aneurysm. I was very mad at God for taking my father. And sometime after that, I asked a friend of mine (who is a good Christian) if he thought God would forgive me for being angry with him. My friend said if he gave his Son for us, I think he can forgive you being angry with him. That really helped me. I understand why when times are hard it is very easy to doubt--but I think we are given the hard times by God so that we will draw closer to him... Don't know if this helped or not. But hang in there and keep praying. It will get better...
